Pop-up shop to open for passengers in Sea Terminal

The Island’s cruise season gathers pace today (Saturday).

A Manx piper will play on Douglas quay to herald the arrival of two ships.

Luxury ship Le Soléal will berth alongside Victoria Pier, while Norwegian ship Midnatsol will anchor in Douglas Bay.

A pop-up shop will also be based near the cruise welcome desk at the Sea Terminal, allowing passengers to purchase Manx food, drink and crafts.

The shop will be run by MostlyManx, a not-for-profit cooperative featuring more than 90 skilled food and drink producers and artisans.
