Mangalore: From October, more cruiser liners are likely to arrive at New Mangalore Port for the charm of this historic city has spread overseas, like a Kate Winslet in Hollywood, or a Ramya in Bangalore.
One of the leading cruise operators in the world, Royal Caribbean International has sent a team to NMPT chairman and the vessel agents, to hold discussions to come again here and utilize the local NMPT facilities available to cruise vessels, which were satisfactory. They counted upon many blessings at New Mangalore like a tidy berth area, concrete roads, immigration clearance, tour operators and so on.
In the next one year(2011-2012), the team would bring 13 cruise vessels each having 1300 or more passengers. On 12-11-2011, the biggest vessel, Brilliance may touch Mangalore on a sunny cool day. There are so any places to visit in and around the city, farms, temples, chapels, factories and so on.
