All Leisure Holidays (ALH), the British cruise ship operator, has signed a three-year agreement with Portsmouth international Port that will extend a relationship that started in 2010 to at least 2018. The news was released on 5th January 2016 and ALH owns three well-known companies, Swan Hellenic, voyages of Discovery and Hebridean Island Cruises. During the last five years ships from each company have visited Portsmouth international Port, a decision based on excellent transport connections, location and investment in new facilities. Swan Hellenic’s 12,892gt/1996 built Minerva (above) has been based at Portsmouth international Port since 2010 for cruises in Northern Europe, the Baltic and Scandinavia. That relationship will continue for at least another three years, with the Minerva starting Portsmouth international Port’s 2016 cruise season on April 15th, the first of 11 cruise departures with the 15,396gt/1990 built voyager and Minerva during the season.
