Serenissima is the first cruise ship to arrive this year.

The cruise ship owned by Noble Caledonia, a small cruise ship company, arrived in Dartmouth this morning, Friday, May 18.

An annual visitor to the town, she is the first cruise ship for the 2018 season after bad weather led to the cancellation of Saga Pearl II in April.

Up to 95 British guests have been enjoying the 11 day cruise from Lisbon, visiting several ports along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France.

Serenissima arrived from the Scillies before continuing onto Portsmouth. The town crier welcomed the ship into the harbour earlier this morning.
