The Atlantic Canada Cruise Association has been given a financial shot in the arm from ACOA and the four Atlantic provinces.
With the majestic Cunard Liner Queen Mary 2 and the Royal Carribean Adventure of the Seas both docked in Saint John, it was the perfect backdrop for a funding announcement.
Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long was first with money from ACOA.
