Cruiseships galore

It's been very busy with cruiseliners in recent days, even though two of them were unable to dock due to the poor weather conditions at the time. Today, two have come to call. Le Diamant is docked alongside no 3 pier, as I reported earlier today. At 4pm, the National Geographic Explorer dropped anchor in Glumag Harbour, directly across from my position on the seafront. Needless to say, I was out with the camera.

Vistamar - was unable to dock on 24 August in spite of deceptively bright conditions.

  1. How exciting to see the Explorer so close. Are they researching something in the area? I wish I lived closer to a port, I love seeing ships.
