WE may have entered the colder months of the year, but that hasn't prevented our summer visitors from floating in waters off of the Dorset coast.

Many cruise ships have graced our shores this summer, the ships becoming something of an attraction amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On June 20, four cruise ships were lined up on the water off Bournemouth in what was a rare sight.

Now, there are five cruise ships currently in Poole bay, which includes Arcadia, Jewel of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.

Members of the Echo Camera Club have shared their pictures of the impressive vessels.

Weymouth bay has also seen six cruise ships grace its shores this week.

Britannia, Aurora, Queen Elizabeth and Norwegian Encore are currently docked off of the bay, near Osmington Mills.

Further afield is Marella Discovery and Marella Explorer.
