A REGULAR visitor has returned to Greenock Ocean Terminal this morning as part of a 12-day cruise of the British Isles and France.

Regal Princess arrived early this morning on her sixth visit of the 2024 season.

The 18-deck ship left Southampton last Thursday and has since visited Cobh in County Cork, Dublin and Liverpool.

She is due to leave Greenock at around 6pm this evening and will travel on to Kirkwall in Orkney, Invergordon, Leith and the French port of Le Havre before returning to Southampton next week.

The vessel, built in 2014, can carry more than 4,000 passengers.
