The Cruise Ships are visiting Gladstone!

Dream Cruises and their ship, the Explorer Dream, has commenced cruising on the East Coast of Australia, frequenting Gladstone as part of their route. Gladstone will see the cruise ship visit eight times over a six week period, bringing visitors to our region and giving locals the chance to introduce our port city to them through markets and community events.

CEO of Gladstone Area Promotion and Development Limited (GAPDL), Gus Steadman spoke to Gladstone News, saying “every additional visitor to the region adds value to the local economy from the Feast on East Markets to the local taxi company – the cumulative effect of the cruise ships is substantial. With the cruises coming in so regularly, locals gain the benefit of visitors spending money locally and therefore creating more jobs.”
