Last night, arrived to the Port of Seville, the largest cruise ship of which have arrived to this town in the south of Spain, till now.Inside it, there are more than one thousand people.
The ship Azamara Journey, a luxury cruise shipping group of Royal Caribbean Cruise from Lisbon, has docked at Dock of las Delicias(Delights). Passengers will stay two days in the city before leaving for Gibraltar.
The Port of Seville reports that this is the largest number of passengers has reached the dock of las Delicias. The cruise lasts 13 days and 12 nights, came out on the 20th from Lisbon and it aims to reach the next September 1, to Montecarlo. The rates per passenger range between 2.800 and 4.700 euros.
Given this arrival, the Seville City Council will launch the first Cruises Cecop, which will coordinate in the port all the services of police, taxis, clean urban, transport and offering "all necessary guarantees to cruises coming to town and a commitment to quality in the services offered to them ", as detailed from the Consistory.
But it shall not be the only one cruise docked in Seville. In October is also expected the Azamara Quest, belonging to the same company group Norwegian-American.
For its part, the Azamara Journey is a boat built in 2000, with a length of 180 meters and 28,3 meters wide, with eleven decks and 42 suites, swimming pools, restaurants and golf simulators, that displaces 30.277 tons. The cruise is consigned by Suardiaz Steamship Company.
In this framework, the Mayor of Seville, Juan Ignacio Zoido, has reviewed this arrival, warning you to improve port and access to the river (Guadalquivir) so that it "is not something sporadic, but normal." He said that it is "very good" that Seville joins the large cruise tourism and should be "common" in all the cruise lines, "which are both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic."
I hope that it is another way of knowing such wonderful things of Andalussia.
By the way of this news about the cruise in Seville, I want to remind you that in 22 January 2009, I put a post about Seville, with pictures which I made in February 2008.But, a short time after, I knew that Eye On Spain had a technical problem and cause of it, some of my pictures disappeared.Well, the days and months passed and I forgot to recover the lost pictures; that is the truth and I want to beg your pardon, to all of you but especially to Donald, who told me that "the most of the pictures were broken" and I never answered him. I hope that he can see this post, in order that he can recover those pictures as he deserves.
I want to carify one thing: I have added some new pictures.
Here you have the link to that post.I hope that you enjoy it and thanks for your understanding:
