Dawn arrivals of Aurora, Queen Elizabeth, QV & Grand Mistral Southampton 15/05/13.

Another early start for me to see the arrival of 4 cruise ships into Southampton including a visit from one that I have not known to call here before but I may be mistaken. The ships arrival in order are Aurora, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Grand Mistral. First to arrive was "Aurora" her last port of call was Alicante and docked at Mayflower Teminal for 06:45am assisted by tugs Svitzer Sarah at the bow and Svitzer Ferriby at the stern due to wind and tide conditions today. Next to arrive was "Queen Elizabeth" her last port of call was Stockholm and docked at Ocean Terminal for 06:59am assisted by tugs Svitzer Bentley at the stern and Svitzer Alma at the bow. She was quickly followed by "Queen Victoria" her last port of call was Madeira and docked at the QEll Cruise Terminal for 06:49am. And lastly was "Grand Mistral" her last port of call was Brest and docked at the City Cruise Terminal for 08:02am and was assisted by the tugs Svitzer Alma at the bow and Svitzer Bentley at the stern. Grand Mistral is owned by the Carnival Group and operated by Iberocruceros.
