Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Voyages cruise liner Scarlet Lady is arriving into Liverpool today.
The 2,700 passenger luxury liner is set to arrive into Liverpool Cruise Terminal at around 10am, depending on the weather.
The Scarlet Lady is the first ship under Sir Richard's new luxury Virgin Voyages cruise liner fleet.
Spice Girl Geri Halliwell was due to be on board, but a spokesperson for Virgin Voyages has confirmed her appearance in Liverpool will now not take place.
Along with Dover, Liverpool was chosen as one of only two UK ports Scarlet Lady will visit before its journey to the US.
She will spend one day and night in Liverpool before sailing onto New York and Miami, where she will make her inaugural passenger voyage around the Caribbean in April, as part of a 37 day tour.
Sir Richard is aiming to bring the luxury of a boutique hotel to the sea, with his Virgin Voyages fleet. On board is more than 20 places to eat, lavish ‘Rockstar suites’, elegant bars, a spa, tattoo parlour and an area designed for outdoor yoga.
During her visit to Liverpool, people can view the Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady cruise liner while she is docked at Liverpool Cruise Terminal, 2 Princes Parade, Liverpool L3 1DL. Members of the public will not be allowed on board.
