It was a cold wet morning today (Thursday 12 June) but that didn't diminish the warmth of our welcome to MV Brio Faith, the MOVe Oceans vessel that will operate the brand-new trans-Tasman service linking Northport with Brisbane and Port Alma in Queensland, and Tasmania’s Bell Bay.

The first scheduled cruise ship to call at Whangārei in 2025 berthed at Northport on Saturday (18 January). The Azamara Pursuit, with 658 passengers aboard, was the first of four cruise calls scheduled for the region this summer.
