<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>26</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 4 NEWS ‘We’re set to provide for tourists, ships, and their needs’ • From page 4 “The Lyttelton Port Company’s new cruise berth was completed and ready to receive arrivals for the 2020/21 cruise season, but Covid soon put a stop to that. It’s great now to see the $67 million investment into Lyttelton Port facilities fully functioning and ready to bring more international business and tourist dollars our way,” he said. Lyttelton Port Company’s chief executive Kirstie Gardener said: “We’re really excited to welcome back the international cruise lines and travellers this summer after such a long time. “Lyttelton Port has invested significant capital to future-proof the purpose-built facility and considering the industry’s growth prior to Covid, we’re set to provide for tourists, ships, and their needs for decades to come.” More than 170,000 tourists and 35,000 staff will enter the Lyttelton port this year and while it will take some time for the industry to recover to its pre-Covid highs, the cruise Kirstie Gardener industry expects high growth and put considerable planning and processes in place to make the return of cruise a success. “These have been challenging times for those reliant on the travel and hospitality industry but it’s with tremendous optimism we celebrate the restart of cruise tourism in Christchurch,” said Celebrity Cruises vice president Tim Jones. “We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront, working ‘hand in glove’ with the local communities, port authorities and our valued travel partners towards our common goal of a safe and successful return to cruising in the region.” The current <strong>2022</strong>/23 cruise season schedule shows 85 different cruise calls from <strong>26</strong> different ships – including the largest arrival, the Ovation of the Seas, stopping by three times this season – expected to berth at Lyttelton Port. Akaroa will welcome 17 ships carrying approximately 9000 passengers and 1000 crew.
