Photos of four cruise ships in Auckland!

During the 2011 Rugby World Cup which New Zealand hosted, Auckland hosted 4 cruise ships to act as floating hotels during the quarter-finals, semifinal and finals of the Rugby World Cup in October 2011.

Here are these photos I took when all 4 where in on Sunday, 16 October 2011

Coming in to Auckland on the ferry:

(You can just start to make out all the ships!)

All 4 cruise ships:

Orion with Volendam backside!

Close up on the Orion!,

(She tinny compared to the other 3 who where there!)

I don't know why they put Orion on Bledisloe Wharf, could they not have put her on the other side of Princes or Caption Cook Wharf's?!

Another close up on the Orion! :

The 3 big ships:

:D

If it was four medium size ships like what we had and like a Princess sister let say, then I don't know how Auckland would cope.
