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 — 🛳️ SUBSTACK: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 📚 Buy my books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/ 🚢 My Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ — 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
