YouTube Video Description

On the third day of our cruise MSC Virtuosa docked in Portland. We do like exploring new places and at the moment it is only permitted by taking a MSC planned excursion. Our excursion lasted around 5 hours and cost £69 per person. During our time back on land we got to visit the Cerne Abbas Giant and Minterne House & Himalayan Gardens. Footage taken during the inaugural cruise of MSC Virtuosa but also the first ship to cruise from the UK since the start of the pandemic.
