Two cruise ships diverted to Tonga following cyclone warning

Three cruise ships will arrive in Nukuʻalofa this Saturday 31 including two which were diverted after a tropical cyclone warning issued for Samoa, Tahiti and Niue in the South Pacific.

The diversions had been made after Tropical Cyclone Niko, a Category One storm reported earlier this week but was later downgraded to a depression for some areas in the region.

MS Amsterdam would be in Tonga on her normal schedule while MS Seven Seasons Marina and MS Marinas would be in the kingdom on forced diversions, according to Tonga Radio Broadcasting News.

That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
