American Samoa’s cruise ship season kicks off today with the arrival of the Pacific Princess which is bringing in more than 600 passengers and more than 300 crew members.
The liner will be in port until 5pm when it sets sail for Nukualofa, Tonga.
Vendor stalls are set up at the Fagatogo malae, not the main dock, and this is because construction of the service wharf is underway.
There’s also another cruise ship tomorrow, the Artania, which is arriving at noon from French Polynesia and will be in port until 10 pm, so there’ll be time for the tourists to take day time tours and also try out some of the island’s dining spots.
