A week ago, Ghana’s pound 84-million Elmina Fishing Harbour received its first cruise ship, ‘SH Vega.’
According to a Ghana News Agency report, aboard the 280-passenger capacity ship were 115 revellers, made up of 106 passengers and nine crew members.
The vessel dropped its anchor in the Elmina waters, about 8.8 cables away from the port’s main breakwater.
After lowering its zodiac (inflatable boats) into the water, all 115 passengers and crew members disembarked onto the shores of the ancient town to catch a glimpse of its historic landscape.
The nationalities of the passengers aboard the cruise vessel include Australia, Austria, China, France, Germany, Greece, Russia, and Nigeria.
The vessel had previously sailed to some ports including Angola, Benin, Congo, Gabon, Togo, and São Tomé.
The tourists toured the Elmina Castle and its township, the Batik-making centre at Global Mamas all in Elmina, the Kakum National Park, and the Cape Castle.
They also enjoyed some traditional drumming and dance lessons
with splendid performances, alongside Ghanaian and continental delicacies.
But how does the inside of the luxury ship look?
The Cruise Line’s Lee Whittington shares a full ship tour and highlights the vessel’s public areas, including Basecamp, the Expedition Lab, the Swan Restaurant, and the Club Lounge.
