Two cruise vessels, the ‘MV Resilen Lady’ and the ‘MV Costa Serena’, berthed at the Mormugao Port in Goa simultaneously for the first time this season. The ‘MV Resilen Lady’ made its maiden call at the port, and plaques were exchanged between the port authorities and the captain of the vessel. The captain expressed his gratitude for the support and assistance received from the port authorities, immigration, customs, and travel and tour operators. The passengers were welcomed with traditional dance, songs, and souvenirs by the Goa Tourism before the vessel sailed for its next destination, Colombo.
