Here are the cruise ships scheduled to visit Newport in 2024

Discover Newport, the official convention and visitors bureau for Newport and Bristol counties, has published the 2024 Cruise Ship Schedule for Perrotti Park.

Larger ships anchor in the harbor and tender passengers to Perotti Park, while smaller vessels dock at the South Alofsin Pier at Fort Adams State Park.

So far, sixty-three cruise ships are scheduled to visit Newport in 2024 via Perrotti Park. According to Discover Newport’s website, the 2024 cruise ship schedule for Fort Adams State Park is coming soon.

In 2023, Newport was scheduled to welcome nine-eight cruise ships – sixty-three via Perrotti Park and thirty-five via Fort Adams State Park.

In an interview earlier this month, Evan Smith, President and CEO of Discover Newport, told What’sUpNewp, that the cruise ship industry has made a “big rebound,” but as part of the “New England, Canada area,” the frequency of these cruise ships coming to the region, can be inconsistent.

“We have these peaks and valleys, hot years and down years,” Smith said. This year, 2024, is a down year. “We had more than 60 ships last year, and this year we’ll be slightly down.”

It is a spectacle to see these big ships docked off Newport, but it is only a fraction of the city’s tourism industry – some 75,000 passengers, Smith says, of the three million plus tourists who visit the city annually.”

Meanwhile, Newport hopes to capture a little more of the cruise passengers’ dollars, asking the General Assembly to increase the port tax from $6 to $10 this session.
