Edinburgh docked Tom Cruise superyacht pictured with lucky guests on board

Tom Cruise was nowhere to be seen despite the Hollywood star’s £33 million yacht arriving in Leith.

The Mission Impossible actor was said to be taking a break from filming the seventh instalment of the franchise in Hertfordshire by sailing around the East Coast of Scotland on the opulent Triple Seven.

Crowds gathered at Ocean Terminal to catch a glimpse of the massive boat after it docked, but fans were to be left disappointed as the 59-year-old was no longer on board.

Instead, mystery guests were whisked away in a blacked out Mercedes people carrier after crew members had given the vessel a clean.

Cruise had previously chartered the yacht to sail around Cornwall during time off from filming.

It arrived in Leith at around 10:15pm on Tuesday evening having left Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands last week.

Triple Seven was built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2006, and underwent a maintenance refit in 2016.

The 68-metre boat can host 12 guests within her six staterooms, cared for by a crew of 17. She is fully kitted-out with a water slide, jacuzzi, multiple alfresco dining areas and a lavish interior.

The yacht has a whole host of impressive features including a wake board, knee board, fishing equipment, kite surfers, surf-skis, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, and an inflatable water park - amongst a host of other toys.

Estimates put Cruise's wealth at around $600 million - which is just as well as the superyacht can be chartered for an eye-watering fee of £460,573 per-week.

It was previously owned Russian billionaire steel magnate Alexander Abramov but is believed to have been sold to an anonymous buyer in recent years.
