The Queen Victoria cruise ship was a terrific sight as it berthed at Vuna Wharf in Nuku’alofa today Friday, March 3 after arriving with 2700 passengers and crew from French Polynesia.
The cruise had 1800 passengers and 900 crew who were seen around town visiting handicraft stalls at the wharf, shops and the market while others visited the Royal Tombs and areas around the Royal Palace.
Operated by Cunard from the United Kingdom, Queen Victoria towered above the wharf before departing for Auckland in the evening.
A total of 20 cruise ships are expected to visit Tonga this year.
