MV NG Orion
8th June
The National Geographic Orion (0800 - 1600)
This small explorer class ship is sister to NG Explorer that has visited Dartmouth many times in the past.
She holds 102 guests and will therefore be able moor mid-river during her port call. The vessel will be part way through a London to Dublin cruise and will arrive from Sark around 0800.
NG Orion appeals to energetic, multi-national guests and carries its own kayaks, snorkelling and diving gear.
On this occasion, guests will be heading out on guided town walks, BRNC and Greenway with some free time in Dartmouth, factored in. It will depart for the Scilly Isles at around 1600.
MV Aegean Odyssey
23rd June
Aegean Odyssey (0700 - 1800)
Aegean Odyssey is the largest cruise ship arriving this season, with up to 340 passengers. This is the only ship belonging to Voyages to Antiquity and appeals to mature, intellectual British guests. As the name suggests, the company specialises in visits to the classical areas of the Mediterranean, so it is unusual to see her in UK waters. The cruise from Seville to Dover is highlighting Christianity in the history of Europe and passengers will be visiting Buckfast Abbey and Slapton Sands before departing for Honfleur at 1800.
