The 300 meter long jetty is capable of accommodating two voyager class cruise ships --- the largest size after Queen Mary II. It can also accommodate one voyager class ship, along with the Queen Mary II, and has already withstood the onslaught of a Category 4 hurricane. The new facility has promptly shown itself as a major asset to Grenada fledgling cruise industry, by virtue of its provision of modern berthing facilities.
And, joint marketing between Zublin and the Grenada Board of Tourism to the international cruise community has contributed enormously to the increased arrivals being observed.
The Melville Street cruise port also includes a newly built and highly modernized Welcome Center which efficiently streamlines the processing of visitors to the island.
