PORTIMÃO cruise shipping

Cruise ships in Portimão waters on 22 May 2010: the Portuguese registered (Madeira registry) GRAND MISTRAL was at the Praia da Rocha anchorage while BREMEN and AMADEA shared the cruise terminal berthes. I was able to photograph the three ships at sea off Portimão.

NEW YEAR's CRUISE SHIPPING in MADEIRA

I have just returned from a short photographic break in Madeira Island where I arrived on 29 December to see and photograph the cruise ships gathering for the usual New Year's eve festivities.

On 31 December 2009 there where seven passenger ships in port: AIDALUNA, AMADEA, BOUDICCA, LOBO MARINHO, ORIANA, QUEEN VICTORIA and SAGA RUBY. The handsome sailing ship ASTRID was also in port and some of the images registered are published in this and adjoining posts. Hope they are of interest.

I wish a very happy New Year of 2010 for all...

Lisbon main cruise terminals had a busy day with the calls of ALBATROS, AMADEA and BLACK WATCH on their Christmas cruises. AMADEA had a Christmas tree on the mast, keeping with an old tradition. Also in port were the Classic International Cruises FUNCHAL and PRINCESS DANAE, undergoing refiting work.
