Cruise ships to boost Auckland’s RWC finals capacity
AUCKLAND – Tourism Auckland will welcome almost 5,500 rugby fans to the ‘City of Sails’ on cruise ships during Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand.
Three cruise ships will be based on Auckland’s waterfront during the business-end of the tournament.
Tourism Auckland CEO Graeme Osborne said the cruise ships would boost accommodation capacity in the city during the two busiest weekends of the tournament.
“Of course having cruise ships berthed in the heart of the CBD will also add hugely to the buzz and vibrancy in Auckland during the event,†Osborne said.
The three official cruise ships confirmed to berth in Auckland during the semi-finals and final are the Rhapsody of the Seas at Princes Wharf, the MS Volendam at Wynyard Wharf and the Pacific Dawn at Queen’s Wharf.
RWC 2011 cruise ship packages are already on sale as part of the tournament’s official travel and hospitality programme.
