ANOTHER ship in the Costa Cruise Ship Line has joined several others known to have visited Jamaica.
The Costa Luminosa made its first call to the
English-speaking Caribbean when it docked at the Reynolds Pier in Ocho
Rios last Wednesday.
Officials said that 2,800 passengers and 980 crew members were aboard the vessel.
The vessel will be making frequent calls to the island, every nine days
until April 2014, director of the mobile hotel, Alessandro
Marossa said.
On its initial visit on Wednesday, a symbolic plaque exchange ceremony
was held aboard the ship to mark the beginning of a new partnership with
the vessel's personnel and Jamaica.
Several tourism interests attended the function.
Speaking at the plaque exchange ceremony, Custos of St Ann, Radcliffe
Walters urged captain of the vessel, Giuseppe Russo and his team to
encourage people to visit the Seville Museum in the parish, which
provides information on the rich heritage of Jamaica.
