The Celebrity Eclipse picks up stranded passengers

tcInaugural celebrations on a brand new £500-million Southampton cruise ship have been put on hold so she could head to Spain to pick up British tourists stranded by air delays caused by volcanic ash.
The 122,000-tonne Celebrity Eclipse is due to leave the city tonight en route to Bilbao.
The luxury vessel was to be in port before a two-day launch cruise starting on Thursday but the crisis caused by the Iceland volcanic eruption changed plans.
