Mais uma grande celebração cruzeirística em Lisboa, com a escala inaugural do GRAND CELEBRATION, que atracou em Santa Apolónia ao amanhecer para largar do Tejo ao fim da tarde. Uma escala de sol a sol a tentar o imaginário popular de Alfama expresso por uma veterana residente local que não resistiu ao apelo dos apitos do CELEBRTATION em manobra de largada: "Deixa-me ir ver o navio sair que eu gosto tanto de os ver irem embora... Quem me dera ir daqui para fora num navio assim..." O discurso foi mais elaborado com referências à vida política local sem esquecer a popularidade que os nossos grandes líderes têm nos dias de hoje junto do povo. E esta reformada com os cortes na alma e na paciência foi generosa em adjectivos e interjeições. No Tejo, o GRAND CELEBRATION apitava num adeus a Lisboa, a proa já entusiasmada com novas aventuras no Rio da Prata e docas de Buenos Aires...

GRAND VOYAGER no Porto de Lisboa
O navio de cruzeiros de bandeira portuguesa (registo da Madeira) GRAND VOYAGER tem vindo a fazer escalas regulares em Lisboa no decurso de uma série de cruzeiros de 7 dias que tanto se podem iniciar entre nós ao Sábado como a partir de Vigo aos Domingos.
As fotografias mostram o GRAND VOYAGER a atracar em Santa Apolónia no passado Sábado, dia 9 de Julho.
Este navio foi construído em 2000 em Hamburgo no estaleiro Blohm & Voss por encomenda da companhia grega Royal Olympic Cruises, chamando-se de início OLYMPIC VOYAGER. Com 24.391 GT e capacidade para 920 passageiros, o navio tem 28 nós de velocidade de serviço, apresentando um casco com formas particularmente finas e soluções hidrodinâmicas testadas em navios de guerra. Apesar das suas características avançadas não produziu resultados de exploração compatíveis com o seu custo, ditando, juntamente com o seu gémeo OLYMPIC EXPLORER (24.318 GT / construído em 2001) a falência da Royal Olympic.
O GRAND VOYAGER pertence a uma empresa associada ao grupo V Ships e está fretado à Ibero Cruceros, estando prevista a sua transferência para a companhia Costa.
