The first cruise ship of the new season is due to arrive at Dockyard on Monday morning, bringing 1,765 passengers and 936 crew to our shores.

The P&O liner MV Oriana will berth at King’s Wharf.

She is arriving from Charleston, South Carolina, and is travelling to Funchal, Madeira.

MV Oriana, which last sailed here in April, will spend eight hours in port before departing.

Meyer Agencies is the port agent for the occasional caller, which is owned by Carnival Corporation.
