    I hope the new docks developement gets the go ahead without too much delay from the serial objectors. This could become a regular sight in Galway with the new port, liners able to berth so close to the city centre.

    Agree it would be great to see huge liners berthed in the docks, what a sight they would be and a tourist attraction as well

    It's been sitting out in the bay off Salthill since at least 6 this morning. As I went by it there at 10 the rescue chopper was around it and some other small craft.

    To kick off some generic internet prurience, has anyone heard anything on the grapevine?

    The Cruise Liner Marco Polo is on a 12 nights Round Britain & Ireland Cruise details here.

    (P.S. I hope their navigation is better than their geography in the link above, they think Derry is in Britain !)

    She was originally the Алекса́ндр Пу́шкин (Alexander Pushkin), a Soviet liner launched in 1965 and running on the Lenningrad to Montreal route.
