Boracay expects at least 3 cruise ships arrivals in February

This resort island expects at least three cruise ships to arrive in this resort island this February.

Niven Maquirang, jetty port administrator, said the three cruise ships are MS Deutshland, MS Europa and MS Costa Rica. This is the first time the Italian-based MS Deutshland will arrive in this resort island.

Both MS Europa and MS Costa Rica were here early this month.

"The MS Deutshland is supposed to arrive here by March but we welcome its early arrival than expected," said Maquirang.

Because of this, the jetty port administration together with the Department of Tourism and other stakeholders will convene next week to prepare for the said arrival.

"Aside from these, we have also received two more inquiries from different cruise ship companies that may also sail to Boracay February," said Maquirang.

The Aklan provincial government is bullish on the incoming cruise ships as it bring thousands of tourists to Boracay.
