PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine's cruise ship season is coming to an end.

The 962-foot Brilliance of the Seas is scheduled to arrive in Portland at 7 a.m. Wednesday with approximately 2,400 passengers and 850 crew members. It's set to depart for New York City at 5:30 p.m.

The Royal Caribbean Lines vessel is the final cruise ship of the season scheduled for Maine this year.

Two ships that were expected to make port calls in Bar Harbor on Wednesday cancelled their plans because of Superstorm Sandy.
