The Villa Vie Odyssey only made it a few miles from Belfast harbour on Monday night before it dropped anchor in the mouth of Belfast Lough, where it stayed overnight and for much of yesterday. Passengers were told it would depart late last night.
The chief executive of Villa Vie Residences, Mikael Petterson, said paperwork still had to be completed before the liner could finally depart to undertake its inaugural three-year, round-the-world cruise.
Petterson said the passengers would not disembark when the ship returned to port, and the vessel would leave when the paperwork was completed, before midnight.
