More than 100 people packed into the Loons Club in Lyttelton on Tuesday night to vent their frustrations about the 2022/23 cruise season.
Their main concerns centred around the environmental impact, public transport disruptions and the loss of community that the “floating apartment buildings” brought with them.
For the first time in 11 years, cruise ships returned to Lyttelton Port last summer. More than 125,000 people disembarked from 73 cruise ships between October 2022 and April 2023 - a 357% increase compared to pre-Covid numbers.
Locals complained of inconsiderate, low spending passengers who overwhelmed the area and the public transport, while economic development agency ChristhurchNZ touted the financial benefits.

The Christchurch City Council will on Wednesday consider Mauger’s plan to temporarily close one lane of traffic on part of Hagley Ave and Riccarton Ave. It will also make the final decision on whether to keep a temporary cycleway on Park Tce, which Mauger has heavily criticised in the past.
At the hospital he was proposing the council trial the lane closure for up to 10 days before making a final decision. Such a test was not done with Park Tce, he said. In a mayor’s report to the council, Mauger said the 10-day trial would allow time to assess options for increasing on-street car parking.

Communities at both ends of the tunnel are celebrating its centenary on Friday.
The rail tunnel travels 8.5km through the Southern Alps and was once the seventh longest tunnel in the world, and the longest in the British Empire.
Although the rail tunnel is now only the third longest in the country, it remains an engineering marvel.
During its construction, tunnellers contended with harsh conditions, using basic tools to drive through wet shale and rock, and with the steep track required from Ōtira to Arthur’s Pass.
A committee of Ōtira residents was set up two years ago to organise a celebration to commemorate 100 years since the tunnel opened on August 4, 1923.
