The Secret Deck Where Cruise Ships Store the Dead

My cabin smelled like industrial solvent, the fridge was leaking, and the bunk beds were cramped... but that wasn’t even the most surprising part. My room was located right next to the ship's morgue. What actually happens when a passenger or crew member passes away during a cruise? In this video, we go behind the scenes into the secret lower decks to uncover the exact procedures cruise lines follow when a death occurs at sea. In this video, we explore: • What a cruise ship morgue looks like & where it’s hidden • Step-by-step: How cruise lines handle a death on board • How many people actually pass away on cruise ships each year? • The critical role of travel insurance & international repatriation • The fascinating maritime history of burial at sea — SUPPORT CHRIS: 📚 Buy My Books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books/ 👕 Buy My Merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/ 🛳️ Subscribe to The Maritime Historian on Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 🛳️ BOOK A CRUISE: Whatever type of cruise you’re after, it’s important to have a knowledgeable cruise-focused travel agent to help you navigate the more than 300 cruise ships on offer.
