Cruise ship rescued six fishermen

The crew of the 'Harmony of the Seas' assisted the fishing vessel 'Aris' with six people on board on Jan 16, 2024, en route to its first port of call on a 7-night Western Caribbean sailing, nearly two days after the small, open boat had suffered an engine failure. Communication with the vessel was initially lost on Jan 14, 20 miles from Cape Catoche, the northernmost tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Local officials and community members immediately had launched search efforts, but without success. The 'Aris' was spotted by the 'Harmony of the Seas' after leaving Galveston, Texas, on Jan 14. The crew immediately sent out a rescue boat to check on the smaller boat, and found its crew in reasonably good health. All were safely rescued and soon transferred to the Mexican Navy. They were returned home to Cozumel. There has been no reported impact on the 'Harmony of the Seas'‘ itinerary. The ship will be visiting Roatan, Honduras and both Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico before returning to Galveston on Jan 21.
