Cruises set to bring $14m By NICK CHURCHOUSE - The Dominion Post Story Link Cruise passengers are expected to spend an estimated $14 million in Wellington between now and April. The first ship of the season, Carnival's Star Princess, docked yesterday and is due back at the end of the month after an 11-day South Island tour. CentrePort cruise manager Karen Funnel said the port had 47 cruise visits booked, a total passenger count of nearly 68,000 if the ships were full. "Last year they were 96 per cent full; it will be up there again this season." There were already 56 cruise visits booked for next season. Positively Wellington Tourism figures estimated the average cruise visitor spent $204 a day in the city, well above the average New Zealand land-based tourist spend of $125 per day, including accommodation. |
