The first cruise ship of the season will be arriving in Dartmouth shortly.

Serenissima, the small cruise ship, will be arriving into Dartmouth on Friday, May 18, and will be moored mid-river.

An annual visitor to the town, she will be 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 enjoyed an 11 day cruise from Lisbon, visiting several ports along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France. The cruise ship will be coming to Dartmouth from the Scillies before continuing onto Portsmouth.

Dartmouth visitor centre cruise volunteers will be on hand to assist guests.
