The Otago Daily Times has reported  that on Wednesday  Riverton experienced it's first visit by a cruise ship, the Caledonian Sky,  believed to be the largest ship  visit to Riverton in 117 years.

Passengers and their cycles went ashore by tender, they were greeted by the Southland Mayor, then visited the museum before cycling into Invercargill. 

They boarded the ship again in Bluff. for an overnight cruise to Dunedin.
