There are hopes Auckland's new cruise terminal will re-attract people to our biggest city. 

The new precinct will allow visitors to walk directly into the CBD, with the facility able to process up to 1,500 passengers an hour.  

It includes the new Bledisloe North wharf, which will be able to take very large cruise ships. 

Port of Auckland Chief Executive Roger Gray told Mike Hosking cruise operators now have certainty they can bring ships into Auckland, with facilities that are up to standard. 

He says the facility comes with niche hull cleaning capabilities, and they've addressed other issues operators were worried about just a few years ago.
