Viking Sun.

This is a nice size ship for doing a cruise on 465 balcony cabins with a total of 930 passengers.The world cruise spanning 141 days and visiting five continents would've been a good one costing over £30.000 per head.

I am booked on the world cruise on the AMSTERDAM , of Holland America in January, 850 passengers, for the third time.
one way of getting away from a winter. That costs £20,000 for two of us , we will be away for two and a half months,
Not going all the way, just from Miami to west indies, south America, Easter Island, Pitcairns Island, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Tonga, four New Zealand ports, Four Australian ports, Komodo Island , Bali, Java, and Singapore, I get off there,
as the ship goes to the Middle East and Suez and Europe, I do not want to spend money on the Mid East or Europe.
Nothing wrong with cruising, if you choose your ship and voyage wisely.

What on earth was she doing?

Probably will never get the full story, but if taking bets i would say booze, and fooling about. We don't know if anyone saw her go over, and did the ship turn round ??, kt

lots of fallen ladies once aboard a ship lol cappy

A lot of questions there Brenda, what was she doing to fall over,
Had she been drinking.?
did she climb up and over the rails,? you cannot just fall off a ship
was she seen to go over? a long time for ten hours.
When and who raised the alarm?
Did the ship search for her?
Cheers

This from the BBC. The ship did turn round and carry out a search, there is its A.I.S track on the internet. Don't know who raised the alarm on board though.
