Cruise ship luxury from Norway reportedly hit an iceberg while on its way to Alaska, as has happened in the movie Titanic.
But the difference with the movie Titanic, the iceberg that was hit by a cruise ship called The Norwegian Sun is small. The incident has been confirmed by the Norwegian Cruise Line as the owner of the luxury yacht.
According to a spokeswoman for Norwegian Cruise Line, the incident occurred while the cruise ship The Norwegian Sun was crossing the Hubbard Glacier in Canada.
At that time, the condition of the ocean was shrouded in a very thick fog that limited visibility and made the iceberg invisible to the captain of the ship.
The iceberg that was hit cruise ship it is known as a ‘growler’, its size is small. Its height is only about 1 meter above water level, and about 2 meters below sea level.
“The cruise ship is continuing to operate normally and is now in Juneau for re-inspection,” said a spokeswoman for Norwegian Cruise Line.
According to Stewart Chiron, an expert on the cruise industry, such incidents are quite rare. According to Chiron, usually cruise ships will tend to avoid if they see an iceberg.
“Cruise ship usually as much as possible will avoid hitting the iceberg,” he said.
Chiron also analogized this incident as a racing car that was on the track and hit debris aka the remains of asphalt on the road.
“It’s like a car driving down the road and there’s a tire or bit of tarmac and you hit it,” Chiron said.
