The Reality of Man Overboard Tragedies

Throughout the years, cruise lines have notoriously underreported and/or misrepresented overboard tragedies. While several man overboards are captured by the media, there are several accidents that the public never becomes aware of. Some cases either go completely unreported or crucial details are “conveniently” left out by the cruise lines.

An Example of a Mysterious Cruise Ship Overboard Accident

One recent overboard accident caught our attention. An 88-year-old woman allegedly went overboard from the Holland America cruise ship Veendam while the vessel was sailing off the coast of Mexico on Jan. 3.

Man Overboard Statistics

Recent industry data supports the concerning frequency of these incidents. According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), an average of 19 people per year fell off cruise ships between 2009 to 2019, with only about 20% of those who go overboard ultimately surviving. These statistics underscore the critical importance of proper safety protocols and prevention measures aboard cruise vessels.
