Thousands of people are enjoying a visit to Dorset after the latest cruise ship sailed into Portland Port this morning.

Ken Deadman snapped these pictures of Mein Schiff 4 arriving at the isle at around 7am.

The ship is the newest addition to operator TUI Cruises' fleet and is 295m long, offering a berth for 2,506 passengers.

The main language spoken aboard is German.

She berthed in Southampton yesterday and her next destination is Brest, followed by Le Havre (Paris), Zeebrugge, Amsterdam and Hamburg.

The Portland Port cruise season is coming to an end after another successful year - but several more visitors are still expected, including Disney Magic tomorrow, ms Prinsendam on Thursday and Seabourn Ovation on Sunday.
