Around 100 passengers on board a cruise ship were injured after it was caught in a storm off western France.
The Saga Cruise ship, Spirit of Discovery, embarked on a 14-day cruise from the UK to the Canary Islands on 24 October with about 1,000 passengers on board. But the ship was forced to skip its final destination, Las Palmas, 10 days in and take a detour towards A Coruña in north-west Spain after hearing a storm was on the way. The port was closed when the ship arrived, so the crew decided to return to the UK early.
Taking to social media of the experience on board, one user wrote: “My in-laws are on Saga Spirit of discovery sounds like they’ve had an horrendous journey!” Read more: Captain Tom Moore's family lose planning appeal over unauthorised spaRead more: Crime crackdown and smoking ban: Charles unveils Rishi Sunak's plans in Monarch's first King's SpeechThe Spirt of Discovery docked safely in Portsmouth on Monday night and passengers disembarked on Tuesday morning.
