Destination management company Walkers Tours will be welcoming two cruise ships, MS Amera and MS Artania belonging to Phoenix Reisen, Germany carrying German tourists, in the second and third weeks of January.

MS Amera, a mid-sized passenger cruise vessel that can carry 835 passengers and 440 crew will call in Colombo on January 12. Shore excursions are planned for both 12th and 13th for the passengers, who will be visiting Negombo, Colombo and Kandy. 250+ passengers will be disembarking and 250+ passengers will be boarding the ship, the company said in a media release.

MS Artania, a large cruise ship with the capacity of 1260 passengers and 535 crew members calls on Colombo on the 18th and leaves on the 20th for Hambantota for a day call. MS Artenia’s passenger exchange will take place in Colombo on the 19th with some 150+ passengers disembarking and 700+ passengers embarking. There are shore excursions planned for the passengers who will be visiting Negombo, Colombo, Kandy, Udawalawe, Kataragama and Dickwella.

“Passenger exchanges take place as rarely as 1 in 100 regular calls, and it is noteworthy that two passenger exchanges will be taking place one week apart – an opportunity for the country for income generation via value added products such as pre/post cruise lounge facilities. The ships staying multiple days in Sri Lanka would mean a large influx of revenue in comparison to a normal day call,” the release said.
