2Travelling from its home port of Bremerhaven to Genoa in Italy the liner was en route to the Balearics as it enjoyed a stopover in the Port Marina Salinas of Torrevieja for about seven hours helping to promote tourism and trade in the city. The predominantly German Tourists enjoyed bus trips around the local area as well as the tourist train around the town before leaving at about 2am on Sunday morning.
