  Great photos.Please anyone,do correct me if I am wrong,but I believe this is the first time any Cunarder has actually entered Dover Harbour and berthed there.If so this is a unique occasion.

  Cunard Liner ‘Queen Elizabeth’ departed Dover on 20 June after a few days ‘technical’ stay over.
  Great liner.
  Great call for Dover.
  
  

  

  
  
  DHB pilot cutter gives an idea of this liners size

  It would be nice if Dover could became one of her regular ports to visit.

  Where one comes along there's another - like buses. After the recent visit by Cunard's 'Queen Elizabeth' another early am arrival at Dover's Cruise Terminal today was the 'MARELLA EXPLORER' from Southampton. She left this evening for Portland with what looks like that somewhat unusual sight - passengers!
  Her itinerary suggests she will be back in Dover end of July on a 'British Sights & Seas' cruise.
  
  In the meantime here she is leaving the port, passing our 'resident' liner - 'Disney Magic'
  

  

  
  
  in familiar TUI colours
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  Earlier in the day - another 'ship' arrived at the port. Not on water this time but above. The GOODYEAR airship left Calais in the early hours circling over our port for quite a while taking in the scenic views - cruise liners and the white cliffs.

  A friend of mine currently on the Disney Magic has told me they are due to be leaving Dover on the 4th July to reposition to Southampton in readiness for its UK to UK tours, but unfortunately Dover doesn't feature on those. Shame really because Dover has looked after her for over a year now.

  That is a shame, I wonder if the unfinished refurbishment of the Marina area put them off or maybe they had an existing contract with Southampton.

  Unlikely the marina development, They have been using Dover since before the project started and all the way through it.
