A two-HOUR power outage aboard CMV Australia’s Vasco da Gama off the South Australian coast last Fri threatened to blow up into a media maelstrom, amid reports tugs had been alerted and that the ship was “listing”.
The vessel is well known to Australian cruisers, having formerly sailed with P&O as Pacific Eden, and was approaching Adelaide when a warning light came on in the engine room control panel.
Power was shut off as a precaution to ensure onboard systems were not damaged, and guests were kept informed while investigations proceeded.
No cause for concern was found and things returned to normal, with the vessel arriving in port about 2.5 hours late.
CMV said no changes had been made to future itineraries – more in today’s issue of Cruise Weekly.
