Sailing under the flag of the Bahamas, the MV Odyssey on November 28 opened the doors of the cruise terminal at the port of Mombasa, which has been lying unused for more than two years.

In bringing life to the terminal that cost the taxpayer Sh1.3 billion, the cruise ship, also known as a floating university that operates as a campus and travelling home, docked in Mombasa carrying 800 passengers.
