SeaDream
Yacht Club said the next cruise of the Sea Dream I, scheduled to depart
Rome on Sept. 3, has been canceled.
The company
confirmed that a fire broke out on the ship’s current cruise and passengers
were disembarked at sea onto a high-speed ferry for transport to Naples. From
there they were bussed to Rome.
SeaDream said the small fire in the engine room was promptly
extinguished and all guests and crew were unharmed.
SeaDream said the company’s marine and
technical staff is evaluating necessary repairs of SeaDream I. The fire's cause is being investigated.
