A crew member aboard the P&O Cruises ship MS Arvia died in an onboard accident on October 26, necessitating an unscheduled stop in A Coruña, Spain, just two days into a transatlantic voyage from the UK to the Caribbean. The cruise line stated that the crew member was pronounced dead due to an accident, though specific details about the incident and the cause of death remain undisclosed.
Following the incident, the ship anchored in A Coruña, where it remained until nightfall before continuing to Tenerife. P&O Cruises offered support to the deceased crew member’s family and friends. The UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Service plans to board the ship at its next port for a preliminary investigation. The MS Arvia, which can hold 5,200 guests and 1,800 crew members, is on a two-week journey that includes several stops before reaching Barbados.
