A cruise ship carrying passengers last docked at Nanaimo in 2019 — the onset of the pandemic led to planned 2020 ship visits being cancelled
When the Seabourn Odyssey pulled into the Port of Nanaimo this week, it marked the end of a five-year dry spell for cruise-ship visits, buoying the spirits of local businesses.
“When cruise ships come in businesses thrive,” said Judy Stephan, chair of the board of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce. The ship arrived during filming on Commercial Street in downtown Nanaimo for the television series The Last of Us, set in a post-apocalyptic world where a fungus-like organism is turning people into zombie-like creatures.
Volunteers also delivered a commentary to passengers who chose to ride shuttles into the downtown on the hop-on hop-off service.
