The stricken Costa Allegra cruise ship finally reached the Seychelles' main port today, after three days at sea without power.

Exhausted passengers, who had been forced to stay out on deck since a fire knocked out the ship's power supply on Monday, half-heartedly cheered and clapped as the liner reached Victoria, on the island of Mah. As they stood on firm land, they looked angry and disorientated.

Tour operators waited with buses ready to take some of the guests, who have eaten only emergency rations and washed with bottled mineral water for the last 72 hours, to nearby hotels.
