"As the ship berths at 9am the tugs will be putting on a display with their water cannons goings to welcome the 1500 passengers aboard the Coral Princess," Ms Meers said.
It is the Coral Princess' maiden voyage to Eden and plaques will be exchanged between the captain and a council representative, most likely the mayor, Russell Fitzpatrick.
Ms Meers said Eden was renowned for its warm welcome by the red shirted volunteers.
"If you would like to join as a volunteer or as a tour guide, I wuld be happy to have a chat," Ms Meers said.
