Unexpected cruise ship at Bluff could signal future tourism opportunities

January 12 2017 - A French cruise ship docked in port at Bluff could herald the beginning of some unique cruise ship tourism in Southland. One of luxury cruise company Ponant's yachts, L'Austral, is in port at Bluff after suffering "an issue" at sea, while on its way to the Sub Antarctic Islands. ​Venture Southland tourism team leader Warrick Low said he found out about 4pm on Wednesday the ship would be arriving on Thursday afternoon, where the 200 passengers would spend the night on the ship and disembark on Friday morning. The cruise is expected to resume its normal plan of passage to the islands on Saturday morning. http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/88364264/unexpected-cruise-ship-at-bluff-could-signal-future-tourism-opportunities

South Port NZ Ltd (South Port), located at Bluff, will be used for container handling for Mediterranean Shipping Co, the harbour's biggest customer.
