Update: Norwegian Dawn Collision Caused by Technical Issue
Norwegian Dawn, which lost power and struck the channel bed departing King’s Wharf, Bermuda, on Tuesday, has been cleared to make its next voyage. The incident happened at around 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Norwegian brought in an independent dive team and DNVGL inspectors to check and confirm the ship’s structural integrity following the incident. A technical issue caused a steering malfunction which has since been corrected, according to the cruise line. The ship will depart Bermuda today at 3 p.m. en route to Boston. All guests sailing on the current voyage will receive 15% of their cruise fare to use towards a future Norwegian cruise.
