Cruise ship remains in Belfast Lough after leaving harbour

October 01, 2024

A four-month-old luxury cruise ship that got stuck in Northern Ireland is still on Belfast Lough hours after it left the harbor.

The ship still needed to finish off some administrative paperwork, according to Villa Vie Residences CEO Mike Petterson, before it could finally set out on a three-year global cruise.

Villa Vie Odyssey had been scheduled to leave the city in May but was delayed as it needed repairs.
