MORE than 600 cruise passengers were welcomed to Liverpool yesterday as the latest liner to arrive in the Mersey docked at the city’s multi-million pound Pier Head terminal.

The MV Delphin Voyager berthed alongside the Princes Dock waterfront at 8am.

The 23,000-ton ship, which has a top speed of 22 knots and was built in Japan in 1990, has 325 staterooms and a three-storey central atrium, and can carry a maximum of 650 passengers.

It is owned by the German-based Hansa company, and is on a 12-night cruise which started in Bremerhaven and is taking in a tour of the British Isles and Ireland.

The ship has already visited Falmouth, Waterford and Dublin, and, after leaving Liverpool at 5pm, it headed off north to Scotland.
