Dunedin hosts three ships at once
On one morning last week Dunedin’s Port Chalmers handled the arrival of three cruise ships – Diamond Princess, Radiance of the Seas and Oceanic Discovery – which disgorged a total of more than 7000 people, the equivalent of about 20 Boeing 747s.
The Otago Daily Times says dozens of Port Otago staff and security staff were involved and transport options on land included trains, taxis, buses and chauffeur-driven cars to take tourists to the city and to tourism attractions.
