FORT LAUDERDALE --
Radisson Seven Seas Cruises canceled the Jan. 18 voyage of the
Seven Seas Navigator after the ship experienced a small electrical
fire as it was returning from its current cruise.
The fire broke out
in a generator room around 1 a.m. on Jan. 17 and caused a temporary
blackout; it was extinguished within about three minutes, a RSSC
spokesman said. Passengers were asked to gather at their interior
muster stations, but no passengers or crew were injured in the
incident.
The Navigator was
expected to return to Fort Lauderdale late on Jan. 18. Passengers
who paid full fare will be offered a $1,000 cruise
credit.
Meanwhile,
passengers on the canceled Jan. 18 cruise will receive a full
refund or accommodations on any of RSSCs available seven-day
cruises, plus a $1,000 future cruise credit. Agent commissions are
protected.
