The last cruise ship of the season has come and gone pulling the curtain down on 2014 cruise schedule.

The Ocean Princess came alongside in the capital yesterday morning after arriving from Funchal in Madeira.

The luxury liner and her 700 passengers only stayed on Island for a matter of hours before leaving Bermuda in the afternoon bound for Fort Lauderdale in the US.

The Princess is the 130th cruise call of the year.

The next liner that will arrive in Bermuda will be the Hamburg, which arrives in Hamilton on February 9.

The 2015 season is expected to be marginally more busy with an additional six cruise stops compared to this year.

It will also see the return of the Veendam into Hamilton, which is scheduled to make six calls to Bermuda from Boston.

Meanwhile, apart from the lone cruise ship, there’s just the Oleander and the Bermuda Islander in town this week bringing in the last of the Christmas supplies.
