The Port of San Diego Continues to Support Cruising
Despite cruise ships still being unable to operate revenue voyages, the Port of San Diego is continuing to support the industry.
This week, four Holland America ships and Princess Cruises’ Emerald Princess will be docking at the port for fuel, food, and other supplies needed to keep the ship running.
The ships will not spend much time docked there — once they resupply, Holland America’s vessels will stay off the coast in the San Diego area, and Emerald Princess will head to Los Angeles.
