A majestic 294m cruise ship wowed onlookers in North Shields on Sunday as it sailed into the Port of Tyne.
The luxurious cruise liner dwarfed its surroundings as it passed through the mouth of the Tyne and down past the Royal Quays Marina. Families turned out along the length of the river to admire it as it sailed along the sparkling water.
Capable of carrying more than 2,000 passengers as well as 980 crew members, the ship was returning from Barbados ahead of its season of voyages.
