Spirit of Adventure









Spirit of Adventure seen here departing from a short trip up Loch Long,apparently living up to her name as I have never known any cruise ships to enter Loch Long.

In May 2007 she was caught in a cyclone close to Madagascar,although the ship wasn't damaged it was reported that furniture including the grand piano was dislodged .

She headed for shelter in a port in Madagascar were the cruise was cancelled.
