Passengers are waiting to find out when they would be allowed to disembark a ship at the centre of a vomiting bug outbreak which is cutting short its voyage.

The operators of the Marco Polo announced that the cruise ship would terminate its voyage at Invergordon in Easter Ross, where it is currently berthed.

Hundreds of passengers and crew on board have shown symptoms of norovirus and are being treated on the ship.
