Ho ho ho - it's now the festive season, so for a bit of fun let's see your festive cruise ship names.

You can come up with new names or you could change the names of current cruise ships to give them a Christmas feel to them.

We took an overnight visit to Greenock on 26th July to see the departure of the latest Cunarder Queen Anne. She made quite a wonderful sight as she made her way down the Firth of Clyde. 🛳️📸

It's always worth getting up early in the morning to see a cruise ship arrive into Dundee. With a beautiful sunrise too, Vasco Da Gama made quite the entrance back in August.

It's been another busy cruise season here in Dundee and we even had a touch of luxury come to the city in the shape of Crystal Cruises Crystal Symphony in August. A beautiful sight to behold as she sailed up the Tay. 📸🛳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
