Cruise line Swan Hellenic representative Andrew Marsden says he is very encouraged by what he has seen on the Isle of Man.
The company's vessel 'Minerva' is due in Manx waters next month and he has been here for two days, looking at what is on offer.
Mr Marsden (pictured), a senior planner for the firm, says even the weather was on its best behaviour for his stay:

New restrictions imposed on who can fish Manx waters
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Price of oil rises steeply due to conflict in Middle East
Douglas City Council proposes city centre initiatives including sculpture and markets
Funding bid submitted for projects aimed at boosting footfall and supporting local businesses
