The ship was refused entry to the Greek port of Piraeus and Spain closed its border with Gibraltar when the Aurora arrived there.

It was disinfected and cleaned in Southampton before the next group of passengers embarked for a three-day cruise of the Channel Islands.

It is understood no-one will be going ashore.
