TER Marco Polo visit 3 (1)

Cruise and Maritime voyages are increasing the number of cruise ships which depart from and return to Edinburgh next year, on their liner, Marco Polo, in its 50th anniversary year.

The company asked passengers what they wanted and are reacting to the demand for cruises leaving from a port as near to home as possible. This is an opportunity to bag a bargain for next summer as the company has some two for the price of one fares on departures from Dundee, and fares allowing the second passenger to travel for half price on the sailings from Port of Leith.

Here is the schedule for next year:
