A cruise ship on a round-trip across Western Europe has arrived in Dorset as bad weather forced it to take a detour.

MS Hamburg has stopped at Portland Port with 450 passengers on board.

She arrived at Portland this morning at 07.41 after travelling over night from Saint Malo in France.

MS Hamburg should have been docking in Guernsey today but due to bad weather has been redirected to Portland 

MS HAMBURG was built in 1997 and has six decks.

She is owned by Conti Holding GmbH and is operated by Plantours und Partner 

The ship is due to visit the Scilly Isles, Falmouth in Cornwall and the Isle of Wight before returning to Hamburg.
