Cruise ship arrives for Beach Buddies clean

Passengers to tackle litter in south of Island

Cruise ship passengers who arrived in Douglas this morning will be taking part in a beach cleaning session while on the Island.

Fridjtof Nansen docked in the Island's capital shortly before 8am.

The ship, which uses hybrid-technology to reduce carbon emissions, will join up with Beach Buddies during its visit to tackle litter on the southern coastline.

It's thought to be the first event of its kind in the world for cruise ship passengers.

Ben and Alex discussed its arrival during Manx Radio Breakfast:
