San Diego's cruise season kicks off Monday and port officials are expecting to see a total of around 460,000 passengers this year.
"The Port of San Diego's cruise business is definitely experiencing a rebound and we expect continued growth," Port of San Diego Chairman Dan Malcolm said."We're pleased to be welcoming our cruise customers back to San Diego and to share how wonderful our port is to our cruise passengers. This season's business will be a great boost to our regional economy."
That sailing will be followed by the Disney Wonder arriving Sept. 23. Disney Cruise Line is more than doubling its sailings from San Diego this season, moving from 16-24 per season to 51. Princess Cruises is also adding new business to San Diego with 13 sailings and will be home-porting here for the first time.
