Classic cruise vessel to return to Island

Balmoral in Douglas earlier this year

The classic cruise vessel Balmoral is due back in Manx waters next week.

The season for the charity-owned ship has been extended.

She'll make two day excursions from Whitehaven to the Island on 9th and 10th September.

The vessel faces an uncertain future due to rising operating costs.

Waverley Excursions, who operates Balmoral, has launched an appeal to raise funds to keep her in service next year.
