Killybegs is set for a mini tourism boost tomorrow. 

It coincides with the arrival of cruise liner Ambience in the fishing port.

The liner, at 245 metres long, is the second longest cruise liner to arrive at the Donegal port this season.

Local traders are hoping that the 2,000 guests on board will get a chance to pop into the town for the day.

Local shops and traders are hopeful the visitors will take a little bit away form Donegal and set the cash registers ringing in return.

The ship, which weighs over 73,000 gross tons and has a crew of 700, will arrive in Killybegs at 8am tomorrow morning.

It will spend the day in port before the captain pulls up anchor and departs at 5pm.

It is currently anchored west of the Mutton Island Causeway, in Galway.
