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...
