The cruise ship Regatta came calling on Saturday on a perfect Gisborne summer day – the first of two visits to these waters by the ship in the space of four days.

Over 350 passengers on board came ashore to enjoy a trip on steam train Wa165, cycle tours, visits to Eastwoodhill Aboretum and the stingrays at Tatapouri, and a winery tour.

It was all aboard the steam train Wa165 for passengers from the visiting cruise ship Regatta on Saturday.

“It was another very successful cruise visit on a perfect day on the Bay,” a ships' agent said.

The ship will call here again on Wednesday.

“She’s got 600-plus passengers on board, so we’ll probably see more come ashore.”

It will be the second-to-last cruise visit of the Gisborne season.

The Artania is scheduled to visit on March 10 to complete the 2024-25 season.
