And then another, even bigger cruise ship

Image
I was told this one held 7,000 passengers and 3,000 crew. It was here for 3 days, and was too large to dock, unlike the previous one.  It was anchored in the bay, and had some shuttle boats that constantly ferried passengers to/from the wharf. It will be some time before the tourism sector recovers, but the recovery has started.

First cruise ship since Covid arrives in Vanuatu

What has it been? Two years?  Three?   Here's a view of wharf road from this afternoon, lined with vendors awaiting cruise-ship passengers hungry for souvenirs.
