Yacht Collides with Royal Caribbean Ship

Submitted by kgnadmin on

The yacht Aurora accidentally collided with Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas on Wednesday while the cruise ship was docked in Nassau, Bahamas, Royal Caribbean Blog reported.


Passengers aboard the massive cruise liner witnessed the moment the smaller vessel drifted into the port side of the ship, with videos of the incident quickly making rounds on social media.

 

Vanessa Walden, a passenger on Allure of the Seas, shared a video taken moments after the collision. “This boat apparently lost power or something and drifted into the back of our ship,” she explained, noting that the impact appeared to have damaged the upper portion of the yacht.


Michael Fenstermaker posted on X that the yacht’s mast was damaged from the impact.

 

Despite the dramatic scene, Allure of the Seas appeared to sustain minimal damage, and some passengers reported being unaware of the incident altogether.

The cause of the collision remains unclear, but no injuries have been reported.
