Cruise 2023 - After 18 long days at sea, we finally reached Apia, Samoa! All aboard were excited and eager to explore this beautiful island and a great time was had by all.
With the assistance of Captain Bannister, LWO Kathy Shankle, and the harbor pilot - cadets at the helm did a fantastic job of steering the ship to our moorage.
Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by Charg茅 d'Affaires Noriko Horiuchi of the U.S. Embassy in Samoa, seen in the photo above with Captain Samar Bannister.
We had the honor of welcoming multiple groups of students from the National University of Samoa, School of Maritime for tours aboard the TSGB over the course of our visit.
