THE BIGGEST AND NEWEST CRUISE SHIP TO HOME PORT IN AUSTRALIA, BEGINS HER LONG JOURNEY HOME !

The BIGGEST And Newest Cruise Ship To Homeport In Australia, Begins Her Long Journey HOME !

Australia’s newest, biggest and most technologically advanced cruise ship which is being constructed at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, has completed its conveyance. The conveyance is a unique process for ships built at Meyer Werft as the shipyard is situated inland along the banks of the River Ems and the ship must make the trip from Papenburg down the river backwards to get to the North Sea. The journey took 12 hours.

At 346 meters long and 41 meters wide, this 167,800 gross ton ship is one of the largest ever to go through conveyance. Thousands of revellers from the surrounding local villages lined the 26 mile route along the river bank to watch and celebrate the ship’s journey.
