"Costa Luminosa" & "MSC Orchestra" arriving into Southampton - 08/05/2015

Friday 8th May 2015 saw the first PLANNED visit by Costa Cruises' "Costa Luminosa" to Southampton - her last being an last-minute call after being diverted from Dover due to strong winds in September 2011. As before, she docked at the 'Ocean' Terminal, arriving at around 08:00. Following "Costa Luminosa" into Southampton was another returning visitor - MSC Cruises' "MSC Orchestra" who previously visited in September 2014. She too returned to dock at her previously visited berth at the 'City' Terminal at around 08:15. A third ship, P&O Cruises' "Azura" was also meant to be in Southampton but was delayed by having to make an emergency call to Bergen, Norway whilst an electrical problem was dealt with. She won't arrive until the early hours of Saturday morning. Viewed from Town Quay.
