Cruise Ship Coming To Nain

The cruise ship Sea Adventurer will be arriving in Nain on July 11, 2015.

Ashley Edmunds is the Chairperson for the Welcoming Committee.

Edmunds says there are approximately 200 people aboard the ship.

The theme of this cruise is `Newfoundland and Wild Labrador 2015 `.

Edmunds says the ship is coming from the north and travelling south.

During their voyages, the ship’s passengers will have a chance to see icebergs and wildlife like whales, polar bears and seals.

She says a community event will be planned for their arrival next Saturday.

There will be free hamburgers given out, a speech done by a member of the Nunatsiavut Government, and tourists will be viewing the community.

Inuit games will also be going on.

Everyone is invited to participate in the games.

There may be live entertainment with throat singing and drum dancing as well.

Edmunds adds that the cruise ship will be coming in the afternoon and staying for part of the evening.

Tourists will have tours in and around town, viewing our church, and Parks Canada.

The cruise ship will then be traveling to Hebron and the Torngat Mountains National Park, and ending their tour in Kuujjuaq.
