THE ports of Gothenburg, Stockholm and Visby have collaborated for the safe restart of cruising in Sweden, which took place yesterday.
The country’s first cruise ship call of the year in which passengers were able to disembark was a result of the joint collaboration of regulatory authorities, with TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 6 (pictured) calling on Gothenburg.
The “bubble cruise” will see passengers travelling off the ship in specially chartered buses, with their own set times to visit museums, so as to not mix with members of the community.
The cruise has embarked significantly under capacity, and all passengers have been tested.
