Holland America Lines cruise ship Noordam was scheduled to make her second visit of the cruise season to Gisborne today, bringing 1820 passengers.

The 285-metre long/32m wide ship was expected to arrive in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa Poverty Bay at around 8am from Napier and departs at about 4.30pm for Tauranga. She called here in late November.

“The full line-up of excursions have been laid on for the passengers who come ashore today,” a ship agent’s spokesman said. “The weather looks good for the visit.”
