The Crystal Symphony was bound for Miami, Florida but docked at Bimini in the Bahamas after a US judge said the luxury liner could be seized in a dispute over unpaid fuel bills.

The ship’s operators arranged alternative transport back to the US for passengers, with some taking a ferry and others taken to local airports, Quartz reports.

Genting Hong Kong, the parent company of Crystal Cruises, went into liquidation earlier this month over unaffordable debt.
