Unalaska sees late but busy start to summer cruise ship season
Unalaska’s summer tourism season began this month with the state ferry M/V Tustumena’s first port call of the year on June 6, kicking off the Aleutian Island’s ferry and cruise ship season.
Katherine McGlashan, director of the Unalaska Visitors Bureau, said the cruise ship season started later than last year’s, with the first cruise ship stops in June rather than May. She said the late start worked out well.
“It’s kind of a late spring for us. So I’m kind of glad,” McGlashan said, noting the island’s lingering winter weather.
Despite the delayed arrival of the island’s first cruise ship, McGlashan said the season hasn’t been a slow one.
