MSC Opera & Fiat 500

Final visit of MSC this year with the MSC Opera visiting Guernsey for a short half day visit. The mist of the morning had cleared to a wonderful sunny afternoon where we said goodbye to the liner with a rare original Fiat 500 and one of the crew, creating a Italian scene in St Peter Port.

The MSC Opera sailed just as dusk was falling with the St Peter Port pilot boat leading her away from the anchorage.  Many of the guests remained on deck to see their last views of Guernsey before they enjoy the dining rooms on board the liner.

Clear of the pilotage zone off St Martins Point the MSC Opera settles down on her two day voyage to the next port of call of Vigo in Spain. During the middle of October she will pass Guernsey by as she heads for Cape Town in South Africa, her destination at the end of the month.
