What remains of the cruise ship season resumes on Tuesday when the Silver Muse comes to call again with her more than 500 passengers.

The ship was here mid-November.

Her sister ship Silver Nova made her maiden visit to Gisborne on January 24 in another successful cruise day in the district.

The Seabourn Quest came here next, to make another maiden visit to Gisborne on January 26.

The ‘Quest’ brought around 450 passengers and 335 crew.
