Video: Rogue wave hits cruise ship

The wave hit the ship and briefly took out its power and navigation system.

I remember a time when scientists didn't believe sailors about rogue waves, that they thought they were pretty much impossible and a myth, lol. Guess that tells you how old I am.

The passengers got their money's worth. They'll all be telling this tale until the day they die.

Funny how in none of these videos do we actually see a "rogue wave" hit the ship.

When you go on the ocean, you should be prepared for it being the last time, the ocean is a dangerous awesome power. Never take it for granted.

Accidentally a huge storm system swept across the North Sea so why was that ship out there?

[chewbacca]

You couldn't pay me to get on a cruise ship. Weather turns at the drop of a hat and suddenly your bobbing like a cork

The best way to celebrate your introvert friends on this day is to respect their need for solitude and quiet time.

And where is that "terrifying video"?!?!...

[pszczqo]

Ok where the video of the rogue wave hitting the ship instead of showing waves from a storm

[michah]

We're those passengers in those suits??? 😮😮 Omg I would freak out. That's why I don't go on cruises. Plus I get seasick swimming in the lake

Perhaps you should get the facts correct. A tug attempted to assist, but both times the line parted. The vessel go to the port under its own power (abet reduced power). Harbour tugs assisted into the port.

Who would want to go a on a 'cruise' this time of year in those winter regions?
A ferry to get somewhere is different

Tow vessels are real life angels, bless all 🕊️

I for one didn't see a rogue wave I saw a couple of large waves

Floating petri dish of bacteria... with big seas. Good times.

The ocean is so vast and unpredictable. I wouldn't ever set foot on a cruise ship nor any other vessel in the ocean for "fun" even if I was paid $$$ to do do. NOPE!

The glamour, glitz & thrills...They got a taste of what they felt on the Titanic...😅

[darwinmay]

that's not what the video shows, now is it

[outlawbillionairez]

Video shows waves that might be a couple feet tall. Maybe tell us how big were the waves? 👉🙄👈
