Saga Pearl arrival July 2016
The Saga Pearl II arrived in Warrenpoint for the second time today!
It last visited two years ago in July 2014 to throngs of people who came out to see it's arrival and departure.
This morning the crowd that turned out at 8.00am was not as big as last time. However, this time the arrival was on a weekday. There still was some well wishers who made the effort to welcome the ship, passengers and crew as it sailed up Carlingford Lough to dock at Warrenpoint.
There was a picnic in the park with various activities for kids, craft and food stalls in the asfternoon. A number of very heavy rain showers did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.
The Saga Pearl departs at 8.00pm this evening.
