A LUXURY cruise ship captain had passengers “cheering” in delight by ordering a delivery of Greggs food to the ship.
Captain Johannes Tysee of the Azamara Journey cruise ship decided to make a stop at Newcastle upon Tyne.

The cruise, which is a ten-day culinary tour of Northern Europe, then made the special stop to pick up the essentials.
Greggs sausage rolls and the famous vegan Sausage rolls were collected along with stottie cake, a flat loaf from the north east of England.
Stottie cakes are one of the items on the secret menu of Greggs, which can only be bought in the branches in the north east.
The ship was then loaded with the classic snacks for the 700 passengers on board to enjoy.

Norwegian Captain Johannes Tysse of Azamara, said: “On our cruise of Northern Europe passengers will enjoy amazing dining experiences including visits to Bruges and Amsterdam.
“Our UK crew told us that a visit to Newcastle wouldn’t be complete without a taste of Greggs as a culinary ‘must-try’, and that for European travellers it joins the echelons of British food icons alongside Fish & Chips, Afternoon Tea and the Sunday Roast.”
The food went down well, as he added: “We were all very impressed and even got a cheer.”
Greggs recently announced that they were testing late-night opening hours to offer dinner time meal deals.
Festive bake fans will be pleased to know that the bakery chain will be adding them to their menu again on November 8, just in time for Christmas.
The pumpkin spice latte will also be coming back this autumn, although the exact date is yet to be released.
