The flagship vessel was due to depart Southampton for New York after it arrived at the south-coast port on Saturday (22 April).

But the voyage had to be cancelled after a technical issue – which had to be rectified before sailing – was discovered. The return seven-night voyage from New York has also been cancelled.

A spokesperson for the line said: "All guests will receive a full refund and a Future Cruise Credit of 20% of monies paid. This may be used on any future booking booked prior to 23 April 2025.
 
"We apologise to all guests affected by this cancellation."
