Luxury liner departs Belfast after being stranded for months

A luxury cruise ship has set off from a Belfast dock after unexpectedly spending four months in the city ahead of a three-year voyage.

Passengers cheered, applauded and hugged the liner’s chief when he confirmed on Monday night that they were ready for departure.

The residents of the Villa Vie Odyssey waved goodbye to the Northern Ireland city they had become so familiar with.
