Largest cruise ship in more than a decade welcomed

Port of Sunderland has welcomed the largest cruise ship in more than a decade into its waters this week. The North East port played host to the MS Hamburg, a 15,000 ton, 420 passenger cruise ship, operated by German-based Plantours Kreuzfahrten. The vessel – the largest of its kind to enter the port in 15 years – docked for eight hours, with the 318 tourists on board heading off on organised tours to explore religious sites across the North East.
