The troubled cruise ship Albatros docked just off the Torrevieja coast on Saturday afternoon and evening allowing it’s 600 passengers to spend a relaxed afternoon and evening in the town.
Travelling from its home port of Bremerhaven to Genoa in Italy the liner was en route to the Balearics as it enjoyed a stopover in the Port Marina Salinas of Torrevieja for about seven hours helping to promote tourism and trade in the city. The predominantly German Tourists enjoyed bus trips around the local area as well as the tourist train around the town before leaving at about 2am on Sunday morning.
This is the second time in just over a year ago that a cruise liner has stopped off the Torrevieja coast with the previous liner also owned by the German company Phoenix Reisen.
