Search for Overboard Passenger Ends Unsuccessfully

A 51-year-old man went overboard from the Norwegian Epic cruise ship on Thursday afternoon while it was en route from Ocho Rios, Jamaica to Nassau, Bahamas. Despite a comprehensive search and rescue operation involving the Bahamas Rescue Coordination Center and assistance from nearby ships, the search was called off later that evening after failing to locate the man. The incident occurred on a seven-night Western Caribbean voyage that departed from Port Canaveral, Florida. The passenger was traveling with a large group and family members, who are being supported by Norwegian Cruise Line during this difficult time. The reasons behind the man's fall overboard remain unclear, and he has not been publicly identified.
