Sailings
from Llandudno by Steamers and Cruise Vessels have ceased,
it is hoped only
temporarily, owing to the need for repairs to the landing stage,
and
for which there are, it is understood, no funds available.
The last sailings to
Douglas
in the Isle of Man were in May 2005,
since when the "Lady
of Mann" has
been sold by the Isle of Man
Steam Packet
Company for service in the
Mediterranean.
The MV Balmoral last
visited Llandudno in June 2006.
