Maiden voyage for revamped cruise ship
The Azamara Pursuit Cruise Ship had a $50 million make over, before showing it off in its maiden call, Douglas Bay.
The ship was on a preview trip from Belfast yesterday (Wed 25), and captained by Peel born and bred Carl Smith.
Cruise Isle of Man and local volunteers were all hands on deck to meet and greet the ships passengers.
Julie Colquitt from the Department of Enterprise believes visiting cruise ships boost our economy, and says the passion Manx volunteers show in welcoming people to the island contributes to tourists coming back for more:
