2 international cruise ships arrive in Manila

A South Harbor handled two prestigious international cruise ships — the Westerdam and the NCL Norwegian Jewel — recently, showing the port's efficiency and capability in handling large-scale maritime traffic.

The NCL Norwegian Jewel made its return from Boracay, carrying 2,376 passengers. It occupied Berths 4 and 5 at Pier 15 of the Manila South Harbor.

The Westerdam, hailing from Taiwan, anchored at Berths 1 and 2, Pier 15. It had 1,970 passengers.

The cruise ships' arrival underscores Manila's allure as a prime tourist destination. Passengers were greeted by a fleet of 50 buses stationed at the port, poised to transport them to various tourist attractions in the city.

This thoughtful gesture exemplified Manila's commitment to provide exceptional hospitality and memorable experiences for visitors. .

The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) ensured a smooth disembarkation process, with no untoward incidents reported during the ships' arrival. The professionalism and expertise displayed by the port personnel facilitated a hassle-free experience for passengers and crew alike.
