The N Shed, located at Durban’s old harbour, was abuzz when one of the longest passenger ships in the world docked in the City today.
The 950 crew members and 2 000 passengers of Queen Mary 2 were given a warm Durban welcome by Zulu dancers and singers as they disembarked.
Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda, together with industry role players, were on hand to personally welcome the crew and passengers.
During the engagement, Mayor Kaunda highlighted Durban as a premier destination to passengers. He also handed over a gift to the ship’s Captain Andrew Hall.
Passengers are currently exploring the City on the Rickshaw bus, visiting the Valley of 1000 Hills, and taking in a cultural tour to the Victoria Indian Market. Some are going on a historical tour visiting attractions including the Durban City Hall, the Playhouse Theatre, KwaMuhle Museum, and other historic sites.
