A cruise ship has dropped anchor in Swansea for the first time this year.
Passengers and crew aboard the Ocean Nova visited the city on the weekend.
The ship usually navigates its way around the Antarctic but sampled the warmer waters of Swansea Bay instead.
Swansea Council tourism staff met over 100 passengers and crew at the Prince of Wales dock to hand out information packs and city centre maps.
The Mumbles Mostly Jazz and Blues Festival and the touring Anne Frank exhibition at Swansea Museum were some of the events available to the visitors along with the annual Clyne in Bloom festivities.
Iwan Davies, Swansea Council’s Head of Culture and Tourism, said: “The Ocean Nova’s visit to Swansea was a direct result of Swansea Council’s involvement in the Celtic Wave- a European funded partnership with Associated British Ports and the ports of Milford Haven, Holyhead, Waterford, Cork and Dublin.
“The Partnership’s aim is to market the Irish Sea as a cruise ship destination and this visit came as a direct result of the activity undertaken by the Partnership during a cruise convention in Hamburg last year.
“We hope to see many more cruise ship visits to Swansea in the future.”
