SATURDAY saw four of the
world’s most luxurious vessels
berthed in Sydney Harbour – with
an unprecedented two vessels at
Circular Quay.
The 142-metre long PONANT
Le Soleal and 180-metre long
Azamara Quest shared the Quay
for the day, while the 458-guest
Seabourn Odyssey and Silversea
Cruises’ 382-guest Silver Whisper
were berthed at White Bay Cruise
Terminal.
Cruise Lines International
Association (CLIA) Australasia
commercial director Brett Jardine
said the four ships brought more
than 2,800 visitors to the city.
“CLIA studies show int’l pax
cruising from Sydney spend an
average $762 a day in the city,
while transiting guests spend
more than $200 a day…we
estimate these ships’ visits would
have injected more than $2
million into the economy in just
one day,” Jardine said.
