The Artania is the last cruise ship to visit Plymouth this year & arrived in the mist and rain this morning. It dropped anchor near the Breakwater on a 9-hour stay. Passengers will be greeted by city representatives & Volunteer Cruise Ambassadors at the Barbican Landing Stage.
The liner is run by Phoenix Reisen Cruises & built in 1984 but refurbished in 2022. It was at the time the most expensive passenger ship ever built, and initially named Royal Princess because it was launched by the late Princess of Wales. http://www.westwardshippingnews.com

CELEBRATING 2 YEARS OF WESTWARD
We are celebrating 2 years and a huge milestone for our maritime news website that was created out of the UK Covid lockdown. The crew at Westward are now focused in developing our news platform in 2025. Have you thought about advertising with us?
During the first UK Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, we first noticed the deep fascination for images and news about Plymouth and the South West of England’s maritime shipping movements and sectors.
Throughout the lockdown and since, we have continued to build on the thousands of followers that enjoy our shipping images, blogs, and short videos that are shared across many platforms online.
Need help or have an enquiry? Let us know by using our contact form . We will get back to you as soon as possible.
