Visiting Cruise Ships for 2008
29 04 2008
The Cromarty Firth is a frequent destination for Cruise liners visiting the port of Invergordon.
These ships pass close to Cromarty along the deep water channel, and you can sometimes see dolphins bow riding as they go out, followed by the Port Authority Pilot boat, waiting to collect the pilot once he’s steered them into the Moray Firth.
Cromarty has the pleasure of many of the passengers visiting our town to admire the scenery, the architecture, and the hospitality of our town.
The provisional list for 2008 is below. Vessels marked * are on their maiden voyage here.
