A crew member on a 120-day voyage around the world is missing at sea. The Ambience ship, which can carry 1,400 guests at a time, was making its final journey from Lisbon, Portugal back to the UK when the crew member was reported missing. The ship had been due to return to the UK on Sunday morning but turned back to join the search for the missing crew member.
The crew member, who was from India, was reported missing shortly after breakfast this morning while the ship was off Cape Finisterre, on the west coast of Spain. Thorough ship-wide searches were conducted for the person, who has not been named, and the local coastguard was informed. However, despite extensive efforts by both parties involved in searching for the person, they were unable to find any trace of them.
Ambassador Cruise Line, headquartered in Purfleet, Essex, has confirmed that the arrival of the Ambience ship will be delayed until Sunday evening due to unforeseen circumstances. All events to mark its return have been canceled as well. The cruise line is providing full support to all crew members closely affected by the incident and keeping guests informed throughout their journey’s duration. Guests onboard have been kept informed throughout
