AIDAvita & Marco Polo

One regular visitor and one  new arrival when the AIDAvita and Marco Polo arrived in St Peter Port this morning. The AIDAvita left Miami on the 7th April on her positioning cruise back to Germany for the summer. She arrived early this morning from Falmouth. She was built in 2002 and will spend the summer with Keil as her home port.

The changing face of tourism in Guernsey as Condor Liberation leaves for the south on her journey to Jersey with the more traditional visitor, whilst the two liners bring ashore three times the capacity of the ferry but for a shorter stay. Condor Liberation provides fast ferry connections between Poole and the Channel Islands.

The Marco Polo is a regular visitor to the Island and arrived this morning from the Isles of Scilly and spent the day in Guernsey before departing for Honfleur. She will be back in Tilbury on Monday and will spend most of the summer cruising from the more northerly ports of England. In the far background is the Normandy coast, with the closer sunny beaches of Herm beckoning to locals.
