American Line Cruise Ship

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Tuesday this pretty small cruise ship was in port.  When at the visitor’s center at Stage Fort some passengers came in.  So fun to talk to visitors visiting Gloucester.  The smaller ships seem to have their passengers spend time locally, which is great.
