The cruise ship, MS Albatros, was in the East London port last week, and was one of the first luxury liners to dock here as the cruise season starts. The MS Albatros is a cruise ship, operated by the Germany-based travel agency Phoenix Reisen. She was built in 1973 by Wärtsilä Helsinki New Shipyard, Finland for Royal Viking Line as Royal Viking Sea, and has also sailed under the names Royal Odyssey, Norwegian Star, and Crown. She is the second Albatros for Phoenix Reisen as she was the replacement of the original SS Albatros Picture: ANDRÉ OOSTHUIZEN
