Passengers could spend time on the ship during the day while waiting for a departure date.

Some of the passengers had packed up their homes and their lives, ready to make the ship their new abode.

One couple attended a popular comedy night in Belfast after hearing American accents in the crowd.

Passengers boarded the cruise liner in the evening ready for their adventure to begin.

It left the port just after 23:30 , slightly later than its scheduled departure time of 23:00 .

After months of media coverage the ship slipped out of the port quietly.

The Odyssey arrived in Brest in France at 06:00 on Saturday .
