A giant cruise ship has sailed into a Welsh port for the first time ever heralding a new era that is set to bring £8.3 million for the Welsh economy. Cunard’s Queen Victoria, which carries 2,061 passengers and 981 crew, docked at the revamped jetty in Holyhead harbour over the weekend.
It is carrying passengers from 28 different nationalities on a cruise of the UK and Ireland, NorthWalesLive reports.
During the call in Holyhead, the passengers were offered a variety of tours and trips, which included Anglesey's beautiful coastline and the Ffestiniog railway. Over 800 passengers took the opportunity to go on a tour and explore more of Wales, as well as independent guests visiting the local area.
