Ultimate luxury escape

A new £500 million cruise ship is on its way to Spain to help rescue more than 2,500 British tourists stranded by the Icelandic ash cloud.

The 122,000-tonne 'Celebrity Eclipse' is going to Bilbao in what is thought to be one of the largest peacetime repatriations of people back to the UK.

The luxury ship was meant to be in port for inaugural celebrations before a two-day launch cruise on Thursday.

ITV News went on board for a look around.
