16,000 passengers expected between April and September
More than 40 cruise ships will be visiting the Island this summer, bringing around 16,000 visitors to Manx shores.
The vessels have been unable to come to the Isle of Man throughout the pandemic due to border restrictions.
A total of 46 ships are due into Douglas, from 20 April until September.
