With a choppy sea four tugboats are waiting at the entrance of the port of Livorno.
Even inside the breakwater the heavy boats are dancing a bit.
Then the 294-meter “Queen Elizabeth” arrives and the tugboats ease her into port. The Cunard's cruise ship was launched in January 2010 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone. In a ceremony held later the same year in Southampton, the ship was christened by Her Majesty the Queen.

What a beautiful ship.
I do like that first photo of the boats all in a row.
What an exciting sequence with a happy end. From your pictures we can almost feel the tugboats "dancing."
There is something so endearing about tugboats.
impressive ! :)
Great images! Love them VP.
It is magnificent. It is inspiring to see from ashore. For a cruise, I would prefer a ship with a few thousand fewer people.
Must have been quite the project to build a ship like that!
Love your posting today.
Including the tug-boats:)
Great images VP, interesting water scenes. I especially love the 3rd photo, probalby because there are beautifl clouds and a beautiful contrast between the "Queen Elizabeth" and the small tugboats.
I love that top composition!
