Visitor from home...

Two cruise ships in today - the biggest that visits and the smallest. The Costa Pacifica carries 3,780 passengers. But the Hebridean Princess here carries just 49. They are looked after by a crew of 38 and there are 30 special cabins. She is on a round Britain cruise - and lying in St Peter Port Harbour today (before visiting Alderney tomorrow) she is proudly flying the St Andrews Saltire.

She has a great reputation for exceptional service, food, and wine. When we got rid of the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Queen chartered this boat for her cruises.

Costa Pacifica or Hebridean Princess? You choose! (she does visit St Kilda by the way)
