The Ipswich-based operator welcomed a delegation of local VIPs on a visit to its 804-guest cruise ship, Black Watch, as when the ship made its first-ever turnaround call at Harwich International Port, departing on a 14-night European Capitals and Canals cruise.
Dignitaries visiting the ship included Mayor of Harwich Councillor John Thurlow, and Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Mary Blake, along with representatives from local authorities, travel agents and tourism bodies.
Managing director Mike Rodwell said the new turnaround cruise season from Harwich built upon its already-close relationship with the port, as Black Watch and Balmoral have called in in the past as part of their itineraries.
