On the far left, the Auckland Hilton Hotel was built to resemble a Cruise Ship.

With the hotel being directly at the Cruise Ship Port, guests must keep their curtains closed while ships are docked. Otherwise, cruise ship passangers could be treated to a show.

Close by, various local ferries and sight seeing boats over look both the Hilton and docked Cruise Ships.
