A CRUISE aboard the Queen Elizabeth has become another casualty of Storm Arwen.

The luxury liner was due to dock in Southampton today but is unable to do so because the weather is "too extreme".

The ship is not now expected to arrive in the port until tomorrow.

Cunard tweeted: "Due to Storm Arwen, the weather conditions are too extreme for Queen Elizabeth to dock in Southampton today as planned.

"Given the ongoing adverse weather conditions and short duration of her next sailing, Queen Elizabeth’s next voyage is now unfortunately cancelled."

The liner was due to leave Southampton tomorrow for a cruise to Rotterdam, returning on Wednesday.
