The world's newest cruise ship and Bermuda's last caller of the Millennium will visit the Island tomorrow.

Hapag-Lloyd's new Europa is set to berth alongside Hamilton's Number One shed with 343 passengers on board tomorrow morning, reported John S. Darrell President Donald MacPherson yesterday.

The original Europa visited the Island frequently and the German cruise line decided to include the Island in the maiden voyage itinerary of its new ship.

The old vessel was sold to Star Cruises and now operates around Singapore and Thailand as the SuperStar Europe .

It is stopping in Bermuda for a two day stay while en route from Horta in the Azores to New York, said Mr. MacPherson.

On Friday morning the vessel will move to Ordinance Island in St. George's before departing for the US that afternoon.

Already alongside Hamilton's Number Six Dock is the 154-foot Canadian flagged schooner Highlander Sea , which sailed into Bermuda on November from North Carolina and will carry on to Antigua, said a Harbour Radio spokesman.

The Island will also play host to the US Navy later this week, said Mr.

MacPherson.

The guided missile destroyer USS Ramage is set to arrive on Friday from Europe and will anchor offshore before departing later in the day for the US.

The vessel is stopping by briefly in order to pick up 25 "Tiger'' cruisers -- friends and family of crew members who will join them on board the ship for the trip back to the States.

The John S. Darrell spokesman also announced Monday's departure of the cement ship Freda which arrived in Dockyard on Saturday and proceeded to off load 7,000 tons of bulk cement for the Bermuda Cement Company.

Meanwhile the cable ship Fresnel remains in the West End port, added Mr.

MacPherson.

Elsewhere, Bermuda is set to host three container ships this week which will off load a total of 419 containers for the Island.

The Somers Isles arrived on Sunday from Florida with 101 dry containers and six refrigerated containers on board plus loose cargo comprised of a 30-foot boat, two trucks and 57 bundles of steel and lumber.

It was joined in port on Sunday by the Oleander from New Jersey, said Container Ship Management's Robert (Skippy) Lewis.

It off loaded 140 dry containers, 36 refers, eight trailers, 23 cars, a forklift, an excavator and two boats before departing yesterday.

Mr. Paynter said the Bermuda Islander was due in tomorrow with 116 dry containers and 20 refers plus a boat. It is set to off load those and depart Friday.
