    "content": "I beg to reply. (a) Since January, 2022 to date, four cruise ships have docked in the Port of Mombasa, bringing a total of 3,667 tourists into this country. Two cruise ships namely M World Odyssey and MV Nautica docked at the Port of Mombasa on 27th November and 25th December, 2022 respectively. It is important to note the MV World Odyssey was the first cruise to dock at the new cruise terminal in Mombasa County. It is among the six state of art multi-storeyed passenger cruise ship. It brought 800 passengers out of which five were students from different nationalities and 300 staff in the ship crew. The second cruise ship to land in Mombasa was MV Nautica. This is a luxurious cruise ship. It is classified in the royal class and it is operated by Oceania Cruises. It brought 572 tourists. They disembarked for a maximum of 10 days and 10 hours and took excursions in various tourist attraction sites within Mombasa County and its environments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the third cruise ship to dock in our Port came on 26th January, 2023 and it was another fleet of MV World Odyssey. It had 795 passengers, out of which 620 were students and 175 were crew members. It is important to let the House know that this was a return ship within a period of two months. This is an indication of confidence in Kenya as an attractive destination for cruise travellers."
