TASMANIA has joined the rest of the country in confirming that passenger cruise ships will once again be able to visit during the upcoming summer cruise season.

State Premier Jeremy Rockliff yesterday announced the move which will see vessels able to return from Oct this year.

Cruise Lines International Association MD Joel Katz hailed the reopening, noting that prior to the pandemic cruise tourism had been worth up to $100 million annually to the island state’s economy, supporting hundreds of jobs and businesses.
