The village of Fairlie had a rare cruiseliner visitor last Friday.

The Adventure cruise ship OCEAN ENDEAVOUR, visited Fairlie Quay.

She was enroute from Dublin to Islay, and spent the day alongside allowing passengers to visit local attractions.

MS Ocean Endeavour first operated as Konstantin Simonov in the Baltic sea.

From 1996 to 2001, the ship was re-named Francesca and operated in the Mediterranean.

Until 2010, the ship was owned by Israeli Mano Cruise and operated in the eastern Mediterranean sea under the name The Iris, during which time it was registered in Malta.

In January 2014, the ship was sold and renamed Ocean Endeavour.

She is currently being operated by Adventure Canada.
