Today, Croatian authorities have confirmed that a young British passenger has gone missing from the Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas ship. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning and the passenger has not been seen since. An urgent search has been launched to locate the missing individual.
Multiple ships have joined in the search efforts, with an emergency message being broadcasted to all passengers on board the cruise ship. According to passenger Nicole Bullock, they were awoken at 3:40am to the sound of the emergency message, stating that a man had fallen overboard on the port side. She has been observing the rescue efforts from her balcony, hoping for a positive outcome.
The search and rescue operation is currently taking place on the island of Jabuka. The cruise ship was on a seven-day route from Greece to Croatia, with its departure date being August 3. We have reached out to Royal Caribbean for a statement on the matter.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time a similar incident has occurred. In March, a Scottish tourist tragically passed away after falling overboard from a cruise ship. The 23-year-old, named Liam Jones, was last seen on the deck of the MSC Euribia as it departed from Southampton to Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
It has now been revealed that Liam had messaged his wife, Sophia Mcphee, on the same day of the incident to inform her that he was feeling seasick. That was the last communication she received from her husband. Sophia shared with the Daily Record that she had last seen Liam on March 14 when he left their home to meet his family in Glasgow. She is devastated and left with many unanswered questions about what happened to her husband.
