LATEST FLOATING HOTEL TO HIT TOWN

Dover Cruise Terminal welcomed a ship which is to become one of its biggest customers. 

The MSC Lirica, which docked on Tuesday (5 September), is the first of Italian-owned MSC Cruises's ships to stop at the port. Ten more visits are planned for 2007. 

Lirica was built in 2003 for the privately-owned MSC Italian Cruises. The 58,600 gross ton vessel  has a crew of 700 and can accommodate 1,560-passengers.

Earlier this year, the port of Dover announced a £200m expansion plan for Western Docks. 

The 30-year development includes a new terminal which will be able to handle more luxury ships.
