PORTLAND  — Maine’s largest port is getting its first visit of the season from a large cruise ship.

Enchantment of the Seas is due to arrive in Portland late Sunday morning and depart early in the evening.

The 916-foot Royal Caribbean ship carries nearly 1,950 passengers and 760 crew. After departing Portland, the vessel goes to Saint John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, before stopping in Bar Harbor.

Other cruise ships have already made port calls in Portland this year, but they were of the smaller variety.
