The latest of this year's cruise ships to visit the Island arrived in the Douglas Bay this morning.
The "Thompson Spirit", built in 1983 in France, is owned by the Holland America Line and operated by Thompson Cruises.
She can take up to 1300 passengers, who will spend the day exploring the Isle of Man before leaving for Greenock at 5.30 this evening.
