A Royal Caribbean passenger has tragically died after jumping from the world’s largest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas. The unidentified man jumped over 80 feet from the colossal vessel shortly after it departed from Florida on Sunday, embarking on the first night of a week-long trip to Honduras.
The ship’s crew immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard and launched a search and rescue operation. Our Care Team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest’s loved ones during this difficult time. For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share,” Royal Caribbean said in a statement.
