IT will be a night time sailing for the third and final cruise ship that has made Glasgow its home.
Azamara Journey is the last vessel to leave King George V dock near Braehead after a year waiting out the pandemic.
A spokeswoman for Azamara confirmed the ship will leave its berth at 11.30pm, guided out to sea by river pilots and tug boats.
Videos of the Pursuit leaving at the weekend were shared on social media.
The skyline will feel very empty after the three ships, Journey, Pursuit and Quest, having been docked since last year.
Azamara was to be the first to say goodbye to Glasgow when she set sail on July 26 to huge crowds waving her off.
On Saturday the Pursuit set sail in the morning with the river banks lined with well wishers.
Journey is the only boat to set off at night and will make a striking sight with her lights on.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
