A luxury barque cruise ship is mooring in Dartmouth later this month.

Sea Cloud II was built as a cruise ship, and heralds the somewhat late start to the Dartmouth arrivals season.

An annual visitor to the town, she will be moored in the middle of the river at around 8am on Saturday, June 15.

The 100 guests on board will be given time to explore the local area, and later on, Dartmouth itself.
