REGAL Princess became the first large cruise ship to call at Greenock when she sailed into the Ocean Terminal this morning.

The impressive vessel was soaked in the morning sunshine as she berthed at the town's cruise ship terminal just before 7am.

Operated by Princess Cruise Lines and capable of carrying almost 4,300 passengers, the huge ship has been a familiar sight at Greenock Ocean Terminal in recent years.

She boasts over 1,400 balconies which give sweeping sea views for passengers and also has a glass-floor walkway extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship.

The gigantic vessel has also been the setting for the American and Australian versions of the reality show ‘The Real Love Boat’.
