MONA LISA in Lisbon



Cruise ship MONA LISA photographed in Lisbon on 25 May 2003, while doing her second call under this name.
I was lucky to have been able to photograph this ship on her last visit to Lisbon in May 1975 still under the Swedish flag and later also under Flagship Cruises ownership and as P&O Cruises' VICTORIA.
