Saga Ocean Cruises’ Spirit of Discovery arrived in wet & misty Plymouth Sound this morning on a nine-hour whistle stop visit to the city.
The cruise ship carries 987 passengers & 530 crew, and Plymouth’s Tourist Chiefs, Port Bosses, and Shore Handlers will lay out the city’s red carpet.
The boutique cruise vessel is on a five-day trip around the Western Maritime Ports that will end in Portsmouth on Coronation Day.
It as been a bumper season of cruise ship visitors to Plymouth so far including MS Rotterdam, and the Arctic Cruise Ship the Ocean Nova at Trinity Pier in Millbay.
