TWO cruise ships arrived at Portland Port this morning, bringing more than 4,000 passengers with them.

Regal Princess arrived at Portland this morning at 6.21am after travelling overnight from Southampton with 3,600 passengers onboard.

It is a regular visitor to Dorset and has featured in the Channel Five show The Cruise: Fun Loving Brits at Sea.

The ship was built in 2014 and has 19 decks, complete with a casino, freshwater pools and hot tubs, a sports court, as well as an art gallery and shops.

There is a capacity for 1,346 crew members on the boat which has an impressive length of 1,083 feet.

One of the highlights of the ship, which is currently sailing under the flag of Bermuda, is its SeaWalk, a 60ft long glass walkway which sits 128ft above the waves and extends 28ft beyond the edge of the ship.

The boat was christened by the original cast of the American sitcom, The Love Boat, and is also a sister ship to the Royal Princess.

At 10.37am, Regent Seven Seas Mariner made its first visit to Portland Port
