One person was killed and four others were injured when a lifeboat became detached from the world’s biggest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, owned and operated by the Miami-based cruise company Royal Caribbean Cruises.
According to a spokesman the lifeboat fell from the ship with five people on board during a lifeboat drill while the 362-meter-long vessel was docked at the port of Marseille in France.
The Harmony of the Seas entered service in May this year. It is the widest cruise ship ever built and it can hold more than 8,000 passengers and crew.
