A massive cruise ship has docked in Liverpool.

The Regal Princess is harboured in the city as part of a two-week long cruise around the British Isles and the Orkney Islands.

The ship is currently towering over the Princes Dock area though she is set to leave this evening, with Belfast next on her itinerary followed by the Orkney Islands and then Edinburgh, where the journey will end.

The Regal Princess cost almost $760m to build (roughly equivalent to £600m) and those onboard have access to multiple different dining options including 24 hour room service and a pizzeria, as well as a glass walkway suspended over the water and a Vegas-style casino.

Cruise-goers Gail and Mike from sailwithgailandmike on Twitter, called the cruise ship their 'favourite ever ship' after they sailed on her from Venice during her maiden season in 2014. They said: "A big welcome today to all her guests."

The ship, built in 2014, has over 1,700 cabins (Liverpool Echo)

Adding: "We'll be there later to wave her off."
