First cruise ship of year visits Hunter
NEWCASTLE hosted its first cruise ship visit of the year yesterday, the penultimate journey for the ocean liner before Newcastle becomes its home port.
About 2000 passengers stepped ashore from the Dawn Princess.
Another visiting vessel, Volendam, will stop in the city on March 15, before Pacific Sun takes up residency in the Port of Newcastle from September.
Cruise Hunter manager David Brown said more than 300 passengers visiting yesterday toured Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley, Maitland and Morpeth and wider Newcastle.
