French Cruise Ship

One person was killed and two were seriously injured on Tuesday when a lifeboat became detached from the world's biggest cruise liner the Harmony of the Seas, which was docked in the French port of Marseille, emergency services said.

The world's biggest-ever cruise ship, the 120,000-tonne Harmony of the Seas, capable of accommodating more than 8,000 passengers and crew in the most luxurious conditions, was set for delivery on Thursday from a French boatyard.

Britain rescued 347 passengers and crew from the French cruise ship Le Boreal after a fire broke out as it was sailing close to the British-ruled Falkland Islands, officials and the operator said on Thursday.
