8 NEW Most Disturbing TRUE Cruise Ship Horror Stories _ Buried Files

You book a cruise for the sunsets and the buffets, not for the nightmare you can't escape. From a college graduate who lost both her legs in a matter of seconds, to a deadly virus that trapped passengers at sea, and a morgue that became a permanent part of the voyage, these are the buried files of what really happens when a dream vacation becomes a waking nightmare.These are the stories of the "floating resort" turning into a floating prison, where justice is elusive, and the ocean keeps its secrets. We investigate the tragic case of Hannah Smith, a recent graduate whose life changed forever in the waters off Nassau[citation:2]. We also detail the terrifying hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius, where three passengers died and a corpse remained on the ship for days[citation:11]. We cover the chilling reality of onboard crime, including the alleged sexual assaults by a crew member on a Virgin Voyages ship[citation:13] and the murder of a passenger on the MSC Virtuosa[citation:3][citation:8]. These are the stories the cruise brochures leave out.
