Overview

• On August 2, the Constellation lost main power for just under three hours while sailing off Italy’s coast, cutting electricity and air conditioning as it drifted briefly.
• Emergency generators located on the ship’s upper decks automatically powered vital systems including communications, lighting and fire detection.
• Passengers remained within cell phone service range due to the vessel’s proximity to shore and experienced no injuries during the outage.
• Power was fully restored and the ship resumed its scheduled 11-day Mediterranean itinerary from Ravenna to Civitavecchia.
• Royal Caribbean Group has launched an investigation into the technical fault to identify its cause and strengthen safety protocols.
