Cruise Line Passenger Falls Overboard
A 45-year old woman has gone missing aboard Holland America’s Zaandam cruise ship on Monday. She is believed to have fallen overboard somewhere between Douglas Island and Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. The woman ordered room service at midnight, when the vessel was near Douglas Island, but was reported missing by a friend at 10 a.m. the next morning when the vessel was at Glacier Bay National Park. The United States Coast Guard was immediately called and dispatched to the area; however the search to find the woman was unsuccessful. The water temperature where the woman would have fallen overboard was 57 degrees at the time of the search. The Zaandam continued on its cruise to its next scheduled destination.
