Pointe Seraphine Welcomes Yet another Inaugural Cruise Ship

Two months into what has been hailed as perhaps the busiest cruise ship season on record, and mere days since receiving the last inaugural call, the island's premiere duty free shopping facility - Pointe Seraphine continues to welcome new vessels.

On Tuesday, December 8th officials of the National Development Corporation - owners and managers of Duty Free Pointe Seraphine, for the third time since the opening of the 2009/10 season welcomed a new vessel into port, this time Celebrity Cruises Equinox.

The Captain and senior officers aboard the Equinox were officially welcomed to St. Lucia via a brief ceremony where they were presented with plagues and other mementos by officials of Duty Free Pointe Seraphine, the Ministry of Tourism and Ship agent Platinum Cruise Services.

Operations Manager at Pointe Seraphine Ena James says the Complex and by extension St. Lucia, was pleased to welcome the luxurious and ultra modern vessel to our shores along with its 2800 passengers.

James says management of the facility has and will continue to strive to not only improve on the infrastructural amenities being offered at Pointe Seraphine, but equally to ensure all is being done toward improving the unique visitor experience at the Complex.
