The Catamaran is a tri-lingual portal publishing work by journalists from all over Sri Lanka. Stories in English, Sinhalese and Tamil provide background and add analysis to the most interesting stories in the country. Original reporting is available for free syndication to Sri Lankan and international media, the aim being to give novice reporters exposure and help experienced local journalists reach a wider audience. Bringing journalists from different Sri Lankan communities together strengthens vital ties and increases opportunities for collaboration, as well as contributing to capacity building in the Sri Lankan media sector. The online-magazine The Catamaran.org is editorially run by the Berlin-based organization, Media in Cooperation and Transition.

As part of their 150th anniversary celebrations, Holland America Line's flag ship Rotterdam retraced her steps and made an Eastbound transatlantic crossing 150 years to the day after the historic first voyage. After leaving New York the first port of call was our home town of Plymouth in South West England. We went along to see the amazing welcome given to guests by the Cruise Plymouth volunteers as well as taking a look of this stunning ship moored off Plymouth's historic shore line. We had an amazing 2 week baltic cruise on Rotterdam's sister ship Koningsdam pre-COVID, and you can check out our inside cabin tour video on our channel. Please subscribe for more cruise content as well as our upcoming port guide to our home town! #HollandAmerica150 #hollandamerica #rotterdam #visitplymouth
