This morning, the Chairman of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), Alberto Pons, presented a commemorative plaque to Wesley Dunlop, the captain of the Saga Pearl II cruise ship to mark the vessel’s first call at the Port of Alcudia.

 

The presentation took place on board the ship in a simple ceremony which was also attended by the Mayor of Alcudia, Coloma Terrasa, and the Tourism Councillor, Magdalena Truyols, who also marked the Saga Pearl II´s first visit to the port with several gifts. 

 

The ship, which has nearly 400 passengers on board, is the first cruise vessel to visit the Port of Alcudia in 2014. The itinerary of the 164 metre-long Saga Pearl II is unknown to the ship’s passengers, who find out where they are when they wake up each morning.  

 

The main attractions for passengers on this call included a stroll along the beach, a walk around the town’s old quarter, and a visit to the former Roman city of Pollentia.
