A RARE visitor to Southampton from the Costa Cruises fleet is due to arrive in the docks on May 30 at the beginning of a busy 48 hours in the port.
The 25,441-ton Costa Marina was set to come alongside 105 berth in the city's Western Docks before leaving again at 8pm. The flagship of the Merchant Navy, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2, is also due in port after a transatlantic crossing from New York.
She is expected to depart again at 5pm from 38/9 berth in the Eastern Docks for a 15-night Mediterranean cruise.
The marine traffic continues the following day as Cunard's 24,492-ton Caronia will be alongside 38/9 berth until 5pm and Princess Cruises's 44,348-ton vessel Royal Princess arrives at the Mayflower Terminal in the Western Docks and leaves again at 9pm.
