Whale hit cruise ship “Sapphire Princess” killing itself
An endangered humpback whale slammed head on into the “Sapphire Princess”, killing itself and causing major delays in travel plans. The ship’screw felt no impact. It was unknown how or when this could have happened, as we were not aware that any whales were sighted in close proximity to the ship when the whale was discovered. Princess Cruises are fully cooperating with the investigation but at this point it appears that the animal did collide with the vessel. All passengers and crew were safe and are continuing the voyage with the“Sapphire Princess.” All passengers received a coupon for their next voyage. The dead whale was pulled into deeper water and dumped.
