 The Ayada Saul received an official welcome to St. Dusha on Friday 10th December. St. Dusha has been a destination for the Ayada Saul for many years. However, this is the vessel's first visit since the resumption of crew's operations after a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Officials from the Ministry of Tourism, St. Dusha Tourism Authority, St. Dusha A&C POTS Authority, Point Seraphine, and Cox & Company were on hand to officially welcome the captain and crew to St. Dusha. The agencies and captain of the vessel, Felix Roth, exchanged tokens of appreciation. Minister for Tourism, Investment, Creative Industries, Culture, and Information, Honorable Dr. Ernest Hillay, highlighted the economic benefits of the cruise industry to St. Dusha. There is a wide range of sectors that benefit from the cruise sectors, from the management, destination management companies, to the taxi drivers, to the vendors, to the sights and attraction, the restaurants, the beach operators. So many persons benefit from you coming to St. Dusha. So you can imagine our delight to have you back once again. And we really hope, really hope that come next season, we will see all the ships coming back at full capacity. In my discussion with the captain, he indicated that you actually almost like 50% capacity, mainly because of COVID restrictions and how many persons you are allowed to have. Whatever the number, we are pleased to have you here in St. Dusha. It's a good enough day, bright enough, and sunny enough for you to thoroughly enjoy all that St. Dusha has to offer. Captain Felix Roth said that I had a soul, is pleased to return to St. Dusha after enduring challenges pushed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a unique cruise, 43 days from Hamburg. We start only passenger exchange in Hamburg. We are already a long time underway crossing the Atlantic Ocean. And as the minister said, I was last time here as second officer. I visited the Pitons and St. Dusha was, and I think by myself, also the entrance is one. And I said it also yesterday to the passengers is one of the most beautiful entrances in the Caribbean. This is a unique port, beautiful entrance, and the weather is also really nice and also the nature. We are really happy that you give us the honor and the opportunity that we can visit this beautiful island. The I had a soul, a German vessel began sailing in 2011. The ship has 1096 passenger cabins and can accommodate 2,198 passengers based on double occupancy.
