Escorted tour of ship
After the traditional exchange of plaques with Captain Heikki Laakonen on the ship’s bridge, Minister Daryanani and Nicky Guerrero, chief executive of the Gibraltar Tourist Board, were given an escorted tour of the ship by hotel general manager Terri Cybuliak.
Minister Daryanani said, ‘The Government is committed to boosting cruise business. I have already made contact with many of the main players in the cruise industry and I’m looking forward to meeting them in person in the near future.’
