Liam Jones vanished during a seven-day Northern Europe tour cruise
A 23-year-old tourist is presumed dead after falling from the MSC Euribia cruise ship in the North Sea, reports say.
Liam Jones disappeared during a seven-day Northern Europe tour cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam with his family to celebrate his mother's birthday.
The social work student from Scotland was last seen on board by his sister on March 16, shortly after texting his wife, Sophia Mcphee, about feeling seasick, reports said.
Business Insider contacted MSC Cruises for comment outside office hours.
MSC confirmed a passenger went missing during the cruise, prompting an investigation by Hampshire Constabulary upon the ship's return to the UK, per The Telegraph.
His wife told the Daily Record," He's just gone. I'm never going to see him again."
"I'm devastated. I have so many questions, and I'm not getting any answers to what's happened," said Mcphee, 20.
McPhee says Jones' sister told her the news. "She said there had been an accident and Liam 'wasn't coming back.' She then said she had seen CCTV and he'd gone overboard."
A spokesperson for MSC Cruises said, "We are deeply saddened by this news, and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time," per The Telegraph.
The chances of you falling overboard off a cruise ship are extremely low.
In 2023, at least 10 people fell off a major cruise line ship, turning dream vacations into disaster situations — and only two survived the fall into the ocean.
The MSC Euribia can accommodate 6,327 passengers and has a wide range of bars and restaurants, five swimming pools, a wellness spa, a theater, a casino, and a very extensive children's club.
The price of the seven-night Nothern Europe tour on the MSC Euribia start at $950 per person, according to MSC's website.
