Pullmantur, the Spain-focused cruise line, is offering what can be regarded by many as a quirky themed Eurovision Song Contest 2013 cruise itinerary to Malmö.  This one-off voyage will depart A Coruña on Friday, 3 May, on board its 1,877 passenger Empress. The ship will call at Bilbao, La Havre, Dover, Ijmuiden, and Hamburg before docking at Malmö, Alan Lam reports.

Members of the band from Asturias, El Sueño de Morfeo, the Spanish entry of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will travel to the event on this cruise, with a view of entertaining the guests during this 9-day-8-night special cruise.

There will be many other Eurovision-related entertainment programmes on offer on board, including themed games and talent shows for the less reserved guests.

This annual Europe-wide musical extravaganza is a much-anticipated televisual event in Spain.
