Jacqui Lloyd: Cruise Association CEO on the new dedicated cruise terminal opening in Auckland next year

A new cruise terminal in downtown Auckland is set to be a game changer.  The large terminal precinct is part of a $200 million “big ships” development project.  It'll also be able to receive cargo vessels carrying 10 thousand containers by the end of next year.  Cruise Association Chief Executive Jacqui Lloyd told Ryan Bridge it creates a dedicated 'welcome' area for people disembarking off ships.  She says they’ve been using temporary spaces for the last twenty years, and having a dedicated space for customs, transport, and check-ins is really important.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
