Cruise operator returns to Harwich
Travelscope has re-launched cruises from Harwich after a two-year break.
The four-star MV Athena joins the company’s MV Van Gogh and MV Funchal and will make its maiden Travelscope voyage to the Norwegian Fjords from Harwich on April 29.
The six-day Apple Blossom Cruise will call in at Ulvik, Eidfjord and Bergen. The Van Gogh will sail from the port on the same day on a four-day Spring Gardens Cruise to Honfleur, Tresco and Falmouth.
Travelscope said both cruises have been a sell out and reported strong demand for other sailings from the port, which will serve the south east of England.
Other destinations will include the Baltic capitals and St Petersburg, the North Cape and the Land of the Midnight Sun and, later in the year, Christmas market cruises. In June 2007, Travelscope will offer a 13-day cruise to Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Managing director Richard Ford said: “Harwich joins eight other ports around Britain and the Irish Republic, making Travelscope the only cruise provider offering embarkations from every one of the four home countries.”
Other ports include Falmouth, Hull, Liverpool Mostyn, Swansea, Dundee, Greenock, Larne in Northern Ireland and Dublin. Before returning to Harwich, Travelscope operated out of Tilbury.
