Cruise Ship

 

Day 78 of 366 Day Project

“Magic is everywhere, explore & be amazed everyday!”

Ahoy there! Look what I saw today, a huge P & O cruise ship looking a little out of place in our waters just off the shore from Mooloolabah.

Exciting times ahead for our tourism: five cruise ships, 15 calls to port, 23,000 passengers and our beautiful Sunshine Coast suburb bracing themselves for a boom in tourism.

It’s full steam ahead for a mega influx of cruise ships coming our way in the next 18 months.

Quickie trips for those wanting a taste of the cruising life without the commitment are fast becoming a favourite among Australian travellers – and the Coast has now joined the ports-of-call.

P&O Cruises has announced the 64,000-tonne superliner Pacific Pearl will berth off Mooloolaba on 16 August with 1800 passengers on board.

This brings great variety, a spice of life for the cruise industry and an opportunity for our region to put the best foot forward and introduce ourselves to some entirely new markets.
