Norwegian Epic, which was carrying several thousand paying passengers for the first time, was due in port at 10am tomorrow morning from Rotterdam, but will now arrive at 5.30pm.
Thousands of passengers booked on the one night cruise were offered a full refund plus compensation if they chose not to travel due to the change in itinerary.
