On Monday 16th May 2011, Dream Designs Colchester visited Harwich International Port to witness the inaugural arrival of Costa
Pacifica
.

The 114,500 tonne vessel is by far the largest cruise ship ever to visit Harwich International Port, with a maximum capacity to accommodate some 3,800 guests. Another Costa Cruises vessel, Costa Magica at 101,000 tonnes previously held the record for the largest cruise ship to visit the Essex port.

Dream Designs Colchester has had a close association with Costa Cruises in recent years and has had the joy of visiting a number of their vessels as well as many of our drawing being presented to their vessels’ Captains.

In May 2009 Harwich International Port kindly agreed to present our drawings of both Costa
Magica
and Costa Atlantica to the ships’ Captains, whilst the vessels where berthed alongside.

Later in June 2009, George Hammond PLC & Captain Massimo Garbarino arranged for us to visit the newly launched Costa Luminosa during the vessel’s inaugural call to Harwich International Port. Dream Designs Colchester were invited to meet Captain Massimo Garbarino personally, where we had the opportunity to present him with our drawing of the ship. In return we were presented with a book celebrating the 60 years of Costa Cruises.

In June 2010 Dream Designs Colchester were invited to visit Costa Deliziosa with a group of travel agents and Costa representatives during the vessel’s inaugural call to Harwich Intnernational Port. Our drawing of the vessel was
presented to the Captain on our behalf by George Hammond PLC.

Recently Dream Designs Colchester visited Harwich International Port to welcome the Costa Luminosa arrive for a second time. Our drawing of the vessel was presented to the Captain on our behalf by Harwich International Port.

Yesterday, Monday May 16th 2011 Harwich International Port kindly agreed to present our latest drawing of Costa
Pacifica
to the Captain of the vessel.

Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester, said:

" It was very exciting to see the arrival of the record breaking Costa Pacifica at Harwich International Port and I was so pleased that we had the opportunity for another of our drawings to be presented to the Captain on our behalf again. Whilst on the dockside we witnessed the Captain and his officers viewing our drawing on the bridge wing, which was a very special moment! "

Later this year we intend to present another of our cruise ship drawings, to yet another Costa Cruises vessel, when the  Costa Magica visits Harwich International Port.
