A cruise ship has docked in Falmouth carrying passengers – many from the South West – who say their trip of a lifetime became a nightmare. Passengers endured two hurricanes and threatened a mutiny on board the MV Athena on its way to north America.
A 70-year-old man, thought to be from Sark in the Channel Islands, died after falling down steps during a storm.
Cruise firm Travelscope said that the ship had suffered an “unfortunate chain of events”.
