Cruise travel agent Iglu in sale talks - report

According to Sky News, shareholder LDC - the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group - is in talks with Brisbane-based Flight Centre Travel Group about a potential sale of the online travel agent.

Any deal is likely to be worth around £100m, the report added.
