WEB Cruise Line Incident Report – 1 Jan – 31 Mar 2024

Major cruise disasters are extremely rare

With millions of people taking cruises each year, the chances of being involved in a major cruise disaster are extremely slim. In fact, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), there were no major cruise ship disasters in 2023. This is a testament to the high safety standards that are in place on cruise ships.

Of course, no form of travel is completely risk-free. Cruise ships are large vessels that operate in a variety of environments, and there is always the potential for something to go wrong. However, cruise lines take a number of steps to ensure the safety of their passengers, including:

• Requiring all crew members to undergo extensive safety training
• Conducting regular safety drills
• Maintaining a high level of security
• Having emergency procedures in place

As a result of these measures, the vast majority of cruises go off without a hitch. Even when incidents do occur, they are typically minor and do not result in any serious injuries.
