Passengers stranded on a cruise liner in Madeira for two days are now heading home after the boat's owners reached agreement with administrators. 480 holidaymakers on the MV Van Gogh had been held in Funchal since Tuesday as a result of a legal dispute – the passengers spent two nights stuck on board the vessel, but the boat has now been allowed to complete its journey back to Falmouth in Cornwall.
The boat's owner: Van Gogh Cruises, a subsidiary of Dutch-owned Club Cruise - is in dispute with the administrators of the liner's former owners Travelscope. Van Gogh Cruises sales manager Tim Fleming said the administrators could have waited for the ship to return to Cornwall and then taken legal action. He added, ‘We do not want the passengers to be used as pawns. We want to get them home as soon as possible.’
