Cruise ship leaves an hour after arriving due to sea conditions

Tender boats were unable to operate amid rough waters

The last cruise ship of the season pulled up in Douglas Bay this morning, but was forced to turn around and leave again due to choppy waters.

The Norwegian Star has a passenger capacity of 2,348 with more than 1,000 crew on board.

She was expected to be here until 7pm this evening with those on board touring the Island and its heritage sites.

However, the harbour master has confirmed the tender boats were unable to operate due to sea conditions.
