First cruise ship for the Astoria season

Today the Nieuw Amsterdam, a 1000-foot long cruise ship arriving from San Diego, is the first blue water cruise ship to call on Astoria in 2026. She'll head for British Columbia when she leaves here. Today we'll talk about Astoria's cruise ship visitors and why they tend to arrive in spring and fall. We'll also take a quick look at other ships arriving this season and when they'll be here.
