Port of Spain, Trinidad (January 19, 2015) – The Shoppes at Cruise Ship Complex announces the debut of its Carnival Market.

Essentially a shoppers’ bazaar, the Market will offer an eclectic mix of premium products from local artisans and designers with categories including but not limited to art, bath and body products, crafts, fashion apparel and accessories, gourmet foods, handbags, jewelry, and souvenirs.

With the influx of expats and visitors to our shores who travel beyond the miles to experience “The Greatest Show on Earth” the Market is sure to provide a one-stop shopping destination for those who desire all things local.

The Market will offer an immersive experience where patrons can look forward to shopping in a unique and pleasant setting in a safe and secure environment complete with ample amenities including adequate parking, air condition, restrooms, and security personnel.

The Market will feature two main shopping areas. The Auditorium will feature various vendors with an assortment of local delights. The Store Area will allow patrons the opportunity to become familiar with a select cadre of stores that are regular fixtures at the Cruise Ship Complex including Blue Basin Department Stores, Island Style, Jenni’s, Ken’s Copper Collections, and Webcraf Concepts to name a few.

The Shoppes at Cruise Ship Complex is a collaboration between the tenants at the Cruise Ship Complex located on the picturesque Port of Spain waterfront. More than a port of debarkation, The Shoppes at Cruise Ship Complex provides an alternative retail shopping destination of local hidden treasures for locals and visitors alike.

The goals are to create awareness of and position the Cruise Ship Complex as a unique shopping destination; provide a platform to showcase locally made and/or designed products; promote entrepreneurship and small business development; and provide an economic support tool.

Located at the Cruise Ship Complex on Dock Road, Port of Spain next to the Hyatt Regency, The Carnival Market will be open to the public on Sunday, February 8, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
