Celebrating Napier Port’s Double Day in Hawkes Bay earlier this week… 😍 #cruisenews #wearecruise #nzcruise #doubleday #NZCA
We had a double day for cruise ships in the port this week, as we welcomed both the Scenic Eclipse II and Le Soleal. Both ships sailed from Gisborne, spent the day in Napier and later departed for Wellington. The two cruise ships joined us alongside container ship, Maesk Rio Bravo and log ships Centurion Lucilla, Poavosa Ace and Deneb Harmony. Le Soleal can carry up to 264 passengers and 145 crew. The Scenic Eclipse was launched in 2023 and can carry up to 228 guests, and 178 crew. Passengers from both cruise ships were treated to a spectacular, sunny day in Hawke’s Bay with members of our community snapping some great photos of the of the ships coming in, as well as the Scenic Eclipse II’s helicopter transporting guests to tourist destinations across the region. Both ships will return to Hawke’s Bay as the cruise season continues and we look looking forward to seeing them again soon.
