Port Of Auckland Completes Summer Cruise Ship Season With Sights Set On The Future

The last cruise ship for summer has departed Auckland with 16 new ships making it down under this season.

The Coral Princess departed Queens Wharf on Friday 26th April marking the end of a busy summer season.

Avinash Murthy, who heads up the port’s marine and cruise operations, says this season saw numbers return to pre-Covid levels.

“It has been an exciting and busy season with our cruise team quickly adopting and integrating new procedures along the way,” he says.

“It was fantastic to see cruise operators like Disney Wonder call here for the first time, bringing a great fun family vibe to the city centre. The cruise industry has proven to be resilient and we are looking forward to next season.”

At least 110 cruise visits are expected into Auckland for the next summer season, with a few ships scheduled over winter.

Auckland is the country’s busiest cruise port and with no signs of the popularity of cruising flagging and bigger ships calling, a key focus for Port of Auckland is improving the visitor experience.

“Cruise ships are an important contributor to the tourism economy and first impressions start from the moment a ship is tied up,” says Avi.

“Providing a smooth, seamless transition for passengers from a ship into the city and region is vital for introducing our country and culture to tourists,” says Avi. “Improved infrastructure, facilities and processes are all important if we want to make sure Auckland is the destination of choice,” says Avi.

Minimising disruption in the Downtown Ferry Basin for Auckland commuters continues to be a focus for the port’s cruise team.

“Cruise ships can only arrive or depart Princes Wharf at certain times and there are also restrictions on ferry movements within the basin when cruise movements occur. While only around 1% of ferries were impacted by cruise operations this season, we’re working with the Harbourmaster, Auckland Transport and ferry operators to see how we can further minimise disruptions for the next summer cruise season.”

Ultimately the port’s longer-term plan is to move the large cruise ships from Princes Wharf in the Downtown Ferry Basin to a new purpose-built berth on the Northern end of Bledisloe Wharf.

Ports Authority eyes growth in traffic of cruise tourists

• Lorenz S. Marasigan
• April 30, 2024
• 2 minute read

THE Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) is aiming to grow cruise tourist traffic by almost four-fold this year on the back of continued investments in tourism infrastructure. 

According to PPA General Manager Jay Daniel R. Santiago, the Philippines expects to net 300,000 cruise tourists in 2024, a 275-percent surge from about 80,000 the year prior.

“For the year we are expecting 300,000 cruise tourist arrivals, for the first three months of 2024 we have achieved 44,000 [cruise tourist arrivals] already,” he said.

The Philippines, which was tagged as the “Best Cruise Destination in Asia,” welcomed “more than 80,000 cruise ship passengers” in 2023.

Santiago noted that the cruise industry is “booming,” hence the government is working towards further improving the dedicated cruise terminals in the Philippines.

“Other than the ports we are currently improving, we are now also constructing dedicated cruise terminals, those identified and ongoing cruise dedicated terminals, like in Siargao. Hopefully, by the third quarter, our Siargao cruise terminal will be operational,” Santiago said.

He added that the PPA is also building a cruise terminal in Coron, Palawan. This should be operational in 2025.

“We also have our ports undergoing retrofitting to accommodate the requirements of cruise ships. These include the ports in Curimao, Ilocos Norte, and Salomague in Ilocos Sur. Additionally, we have constructed a dedicated cruise terminal in Buruanga, Aklan, and we have many more locations to start for cruise destinations; add to that the one in Camiguin,” Santiago said.

The Department of Tourism has set an ambitious 7.7-million international visitors arrival target for 2024, about 42-percent higher than the 5.45 million visitors recorded the year prior.

Cruise tourism presents a lucrative opportunity to showcase the country’s natural beauty and cultural heritage to international travelers.

In the first three months of 2024, the Philippines welcomed more than two million international visitors, accounting for P157.62 billion in tourism receipts.

South Korea maintains its spot as the Philippines’ top source market in terms of inbound visitor arrivals with 27.19 percent or 546,726, followed by the United States that delivered 315,816 (15.71 percent), China with 130,574 (6.49 percent), Japan with 123,204 (6.13 percent), and Australia with 88,048 (4.38 percent).

Canada, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Germany ranked sixth to tenth, respectively.

Before the pandemic, the Philippines recorded its all-time high arrivals of 8.26 million inbound visitors in 2019.

The last cruise ship for summer has departed Auckland with 16 new ships making it down under this season.

The Coral Princess departed Queens Wharf on Friday 26th April marking the end of a busy summer season.

The port handled 133 cruise ship visits this summer and welcomed around 330,000 passengers with luxury operators Disney and Virgin entering the market for the first time. The summer cruise season officially started on 1 October and finishes at the end of April.

Avinash Murthy, who heads up the port’s marine and cruise operations, says this season saw numbers return to pre-Covid levels.
