Voyager

It's that time of year for cruises of the British Isles and today the Voyager arrived from Falmouth. She is on a 12 Day Heritage Cruise of the British Isles out of Portsmouth. Leading towards her is the empty Castle Breakwater which on Saturday was filled with fireworks for Liberation Day. With a low tide the islands of "The Humps" stand out in the background.

The 70th Anniversary of Liberation from enemy occupation bought the crowds to St Peter Port to see one of the biggest cavalcades in recent years. The Royal Navy contingent was led by officers and sailors of HMS Northumberland and HMS Daring.

Next port of call, and the end of the cruise, is Portsmouth. Voyager will be back in Guernsey in two days time.She went into service in 1990 but was bought in a auction by her current owners, Voyages of Discovery, in 2012 to be refurbished for the British market. Just as the pilot boarded, the Condor Liberation arrived on her way north to Poole, giving her passengers a close look at Voyager.
