Stranded Cruise Passengers Traverse Seven Countries to Rejoin Ship

After being left behind on an African island, eight Norwegian Cruise Line passengers journeyed across seven countries to catch up with their ship in Senegal.

Eight Norwegian Cruise Line passengers, including six Americans and two Australians, were stranded on an African island after missing their ship's departure.
The passengers, stranded due to a private tour running late, traversed seven countries to catch up with their ship in Senegal.
A debate has emerged on social media and among maritime experts over the cruise line's responsibility and the passengers' adherence to the rules.
Norwegian Cruise Line has agreed to reimburse the eight passengers for their travel expenses from Gambia to Senegal.
Among the stranded were individuals with medical conditions, including a pregnant woman and a person with a heart condition.
