Stricken Costa cruise ship off Seychelles changes route
The Italian cruise ship left adrift with more than 1,000 people on board after a power failure now faces a longer journey before reaching land.
The Costa Allegra is being towed to the main island in the Seychelles, rather than a nearer island, and is not now due to arrive until Thursday.
A fire in the ship's generator room on Monday caused it to lose all power.
