Two giant cruise ships and a regular visitor are to be seen at Liverpool's cruise terminal this week.
On Tuesday, the German Mein Schiff 3 will be in town. The mega cruise ship, owned by Tui Cruises, boasts luxurious amenities across 15 decks, including nine restaurants and bistros. It holds up to 2,500 passengers as well as 1,000 members of staff.
The eight-year-old ship left Bremerhaven in Germany on June 7 for a round-Britain voyage. As well as Liverpool, the tour comprises stops in Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Portland and Southampton, before returning to Bremerhaven on June 19.
