Quest might be the first to arrive, but the largest will be the enormous Caribbean Princess (pictured) at 290m in length. This cruise ship, in terms of passenger numbers, will be the biggest to dock in Wales with 3,600 passengers and a 1,200 strong crew during both her visits to Anglesey this summer.

Working in partnership with Stena and Welsh Government, Anglesey Aluminium have provided new facilities on the jetty, which include a gift shop, information centre, disabled toilets, an internet centre and a dedicated stage and entertainment area.
