Antigua Cruise Port has launched the second edition of its community
training series, Summer Cool II.

The four-day training event focuses on preparing Antigua Cruise Port employees and external stakeholders for the upcoming cruise season.

The complimentary sessions will be conducted by Antigua Cruise Port and Global Ports Holding staff.

Participants will receive certificates for every course they complete.

ACP General Manager Dona Regis- Prosper said, “We’re continuing to build on our social commitment. We
