Sydney is becoming an ever more popular port for visiting liners. A point proved last week when the world's largest cruise line - Carnival Cruise Lines - announced it will base one of its cruise ships fulltime in Australia. The 88,500 tonne Carnival Spirit will be the largest cruise ship ever to sail year round from Australia when she arrives in Sydney in October 2012. Carrying 2,667 passengers, Carnival Spirit will be the first ship to be based in Sydney year round that is too tall to sail under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. At 53 metres above the waterline, she is more than three metres taller than the specified clearance height for ships passing under the famous bridge so the ship will be based at Circular Quay's Overseas Passenger Terminal.
