The ship, belonging to the Celebrity Cruises shipping company, docked at the Transatlantic Pier at about 06.30 today and is scheduled to set sail for Southampton (Great Britain) at around 17.00.
These types of stopovers highlight the safety of the Port of Vigo, with 14,000 hectares of sheltered waters and open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Once again, the Port of Vigo has demonstrated its excellent safety conditions by providing shelter tonight to the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship, which docked in the Vigo harbor at around 6:30 a.m. to take refuge from the storm that has been battering our coasts these days.
With more than 4,000 people on board, including passengers and crew, the ship, belonging to the Celebrity Cruises shipping company, decided to modify its initial route to take shelter from what has already been named "Margit", the first explosive cyclogenesis of the autumn, and is scheduled to continue its journey to Southampton (Great Britain) around 5:00 p.m. today.
The Celebrity Eclipse has a total of 2,842 passengers on board from 31 different nationalities, mostly British (2,285 pax.), followed far behind by Canadians (169 pax.) and Americans (162 pax.), in addition to 1,213 crew members.
This is, therefore, another cruise ship call not scheduled in the Vigo port's calendar. Once again, the port has served as a guarantee of safety for port traffic, both for passengers and cargo, thanks to its 14,000 hectares of sheltered waters. A natural, safe port, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with many advantages for cargo traffic, such as ro-ro (without cranes) and container traffic. A port for the entry and exit of goods, but also for passengers.
