Port of Hull welcomes first cruise ship since start of pandemic
Cruise ships have been a rare sight at local ports since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic
The Port of Hull has welcomed its first cruise ship since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 57 cabin Island Sky, run by liner Noble Caledonia, stopped in the city on its way to Ipswich, as part of a tour starting in Plymouth.
The cruise ship industry has been almost completely halted since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, but some operators are now once against offering trips on the ocean.
Noble Caledonia Head of Fleet Operations, Mike Deegan, said:
"We were delighted to be able to include Hull on this itinerary, a call which we made using our Covid-secure protocols to ensure the safety of our guests, crew and local communities.
"The area has much to offer and our guests were amazed at the picturesque nature of Beverley".
