We Got Stranded at Cape Horn | Cunard Breakdown

From the decks of Cunard’s Queen Victoria, we watched a RIB tender head out in calm conditions to visit the legendary Cape Horn Lighthouse. On the return journey, the engine failed — and the seas rapidly turned rough. What started as a peaceful excursion quickly became a tense rescue situation as the tender had to be towed back in rising swells. Cape Horn is known as one of the most dangerous sea passages on Earth, where weather can change in minutes. This moment was a powerful reminder of why sailors have feared this place for centuries.
