The Queen Victory is an enormous boat. Sprawling the length of three football fields and weighing in at 90,000 tons, the ship sits 12 stories above the water and can accommodate 2,000 passengers.

It's a brand new ship. And it's stopping in Costa Rica on its maiden voyage. The Queen Victory is one of 98 ships from five companies that will be stopping at the Pacific ports of Caldera and Puntarenas this cruise season.

Begun in August of last year, the season has so far seen almost 50,000 passengers disembarking for 12 hours of tourism on land at the port of Puntarenas.
