A Slight facelift


We've had a tidy up around the site ready for 2009.  The tidying has included a bit of a facelift too.  We've done this to make navigating around the site much easier.  Hopefully you'll find the site cleaner and uncluttered with the homepage as a launch pad for our new features as they arrive throughout the year.

Cruise ship leaves Southampton on 44th round the world voyage

She is one of the oldest cruise ships in the world – and now Saga Rose is about to sail into the record books.

A lavish firework display at 9.30pm tonight mark the departure of the 189-metre ship as she sets sail on a mammoth 32,499-mile, 104-night voyage that will take in 39 ports around the globe.
