Balmoral





Date - 2014-10-14

Photo report about the cruise ship "Balmoral" entering in Praia's Harbour after a long voyage from Southampton. 
You can find some of the vessel details and history here! 
Other curiosity about this ship - in 2012 on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic this vessel created the original voyage made by the Titanic. The ship arrived at the location where Titanic sunk at 11:00PM, there was a ceremony with some floral wreaths being cast overboard. The ship remained in that site for the night resuming his voyage in the morning to New York (final destination of the Titanic).
