The Pearl Mist was docked at Cruise Port for a couple days last week. Here is some information from Wikipedia.
From Wikipedia:
The Pearl Mist is a small Cruise ship, built in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1] After her completion, years of legal dispute delayed her being put into operation, and she didn’t finally leave on her inaugural voyage until June, 2014. She is currently operated by Pearl Seas Cruises.[2]
The Baltimore Sun, reported the vessel was ordered from Irving Shipyards in 2006, and that Pearl Seas and Irving began their dispute in 2007, just five months after construction of the vessel began.[3]
The vessel is 335 feet (102 m) long, and the small size is described as a virtue, allowing the vessel to visit small ports that have to be skipped by larger vessels.[1] The vessel is described as being outfitted as a “luxury”, with 105 double rooms, all equipped with an outside balcony. The vessel is equipped with wifi.
In the summer of 2014 and 2015 her passengers visited Great Lakes ports.[4]
Good Morning Gloucester 
I discovered the Pearl Mist during my daily ride around Gloucester…No one I shared this with knew that it was docked in town…Why wasn’t there some advanced GDT story so that the merchants downtown could open their doors and welcome passengers with a bit of hoopla? Was this a missed opportunity? The ship was here twice in a short span of time.

I think it’s cool to have small cruiseships visiting Glosta. Looks like a fun way to travel.

We saw passengers getting off of a tour bus to board the ship. It was not a Cape Ann tour bus.
