Gozo had the first cruise call of 2017 this morning, with the arrival of the MS Albatros, 205m and operated by the German-based travel operator Phoenix Reisen.
The ship moored just outside the port of Mgarr, to allow its 800 passengers to enjoy a day in Gozo.
The Ministry for Gozo said that the arrival of Albatros marks the first of twenty eight cruise calls on Gozo, for this year.
