Cruise ships resume calls to Dominica after election unrest
The Caribbean island of Dominica, which had been disrupted by civil unrest is now open for business again.
Protests have now died down following the general election and cruise ships have resumed calls.
The MV Marella Celebration was the first to dock at the Roseau Cruise Port this week after cruise lines were told to skip calls for several days.
Voting was conducted peacefully without any major incidents despite fears of violence.
The lead up to the election had seen unrest in Marigot and Salisbury which impacted travel to and from the airport due to road blocks.
The airport remained open although Seaborne Airlines cancelled two flights last weekend.
It has now resumed its normal Dominica schedule as of earlier this week.
"Dominica reaffirms that it is open to conduct business and we welcome all our visitors to enjoy all that the nature island has to offer," said the Discover Dominica Authority.
Dominica is dubbed ‘nature Island’ for its spectacular mountains and rainforest terrain, rather than the quintessential sandy beaches the region is famed for.
