Cruise Ship Without Power Left Adrift In The Ionian Sea
There was chaos and complaints from passengers when the Cruise Ship Celebrity Constellation lost power and was left adrift in the Ionian Sea for about two hours on August 2, 2025.
The incident happened 25 miles southeast of Crotone in Italy when the ship was in the middle of its eleven-night cruise from Ravenna to Rome and was scheduled for a sea day before its next port of call in Sicily’s Messina.
Electricity was restored after some hours, but the ship drifted longer, moving at just one or two knots, below its cruising speed of 24 knots.
Passengers took to social media and described their experience. Many told of their ordeal as the air conditioning went off and the interior of the ship felt stuffy. People could not use the toilets and were served cold meals during the outage.
People compared the incident to the poop cruise, which happened onboard the ship Carnival Triumph in 2013, which was also shown in a recent Netflix documentary.
However, the incident involved a more serious power outage which lasted for many days and led to an unlivable situation onboard.
Celebrity Constellation’s issues were shorter in duration and not as severe as the Carnival Triumph’s, but the disruption was very uncomfortable for guests.
It is not clear what caused the outage, though engine room fires or mechanical issues are often to blame in situations like this.
The Celebrity Constellation is one of the older ships which belong to its Millennium Class, first launched in 2002.
The ship has a gross tonnage of 90,940 tons and can accommodate 2100 guests and 1000 crew.
