  Cruise ship season

  1 mei – 31 oktCruiseseizoenDruk

  Ships tender into the harbour from May, and the heaviest calls land in September and October with the leaf cruises. The town's thousand-passenger daily cap survived court only for July and August, so the autumn days are the crowded ones. Bron ↗

  Lobster season

  15 jun – 15 dec · meestalPlukseizoen
