Valulla
Catamaran Cruisers - Dave Reed
This
Simplon Postcards
page is one of a series on the excursion ships and ferries of the
River Thames in London
. This page covers the
Valulla
of Catamaran Cruisers.
Valulla
joined
Suerita
in the Catamaran Cruisers fleet in 1973. She is 112 grt, 78 feet long and carries 254 passengers. She was withdrawn on 30th September 2007 when Catamaran Cruisers ceased their tourist services to Greenwich. She was the last of the Catamaran Cruisers fleet to be sold when bought by Dave Reed and his brother in spring 2008, presumably for charter use on the Thames. I will add a link to the company when it sets up a website.
