GEORGE TOWN: The arrival of a cruise ship bringing in foreign tourists to the shores of Penang after a two-year hiatus was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the year for the pandemic-battered business community here.
The tourists, mainly from Singapore, were welcomed with traditional performances and presented with souvenirs by Penang Port Commission (PPC) personnel before they disembarked from the Royal Caribbean vessel, Spectrum of the Seas, which docked at the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) here yesterday at 8am.
