BRAEMAR in Lisbon 2009-07-21




The cruise ship BRAEMAR called in Lisbon on 21 July 2009 when I took several photographs of her while docking at the Rocha Passenger Ship Terminal at about 9h20 AM.
A member of the Fred. Olsen cruise ships fleet since 2001, the BRAEMAR was rebuilt in Hamburg in May and June 2008 and her hull was enlarged with a new 31-meters section increasing gross tonnage to 24.344 GT from original 19.089 grt.
She was the second of two sisters built in Spain in 1992-93 for Crown Cruise Line as CROWN DINASTY (1993-1997) and sailed also with the following names: CROWN MAJESTY (1997), NORWEGIAN MAJESTY (1997-1999), again CROWN MAJESTY (1999-2001).

VENTURA leaving Lisbon on 2009-04-20





The P&O Cruises new flagship VENTURA leaving Lisbon on 20 April 2009.
The Italian-built mega cruise ship was introduced in 2008 and is based on the PRINCESS CRUISES ships of the GRAND PRINCESS class and related developments, with several changes geared to the more conservative U.K. market.
This particular ship would look better with a more conventional funnel or with the present funnel fully painted in buff. A sister ship, to be named AZURA is on order from Fincantieri for delivery in 2010.
