A cruise ship is visiting Jersey - the first in nearly two and a half years.

The 15,000 ton MS Hamburg, which can accommodate 420 passengers, arrived in St Aubin's bay at around 7.30am.

Up to 200 visitors, mainly from Germany, will disembark on the Albert Pier.

Many will be going on pre-booked tours, including of east and west coats.

Jersey is the Conti Group owned ship's penultimate stop before going on to Dover and returning to Germany.

It has spent the past month cruising around the Canary Islands, Azores and mainland Portugal.

The luxury liner will be in our waters until lunchtime.
