On June 6th, 2025, just one week into a 113-day world cruise, the Crown Princess cruise ship experienced a sudden 7-degree list while sailing off the southern coast of Australia between Sydney and Adelaide.
Captain Christopher Lai addressed passengers directly after strong wind shifts caused the unexpected tilt. Although no injuries were reported, the incident resulted in damage aboard, including broken glass displays and cancelled events.
This follows a previous incident on February 24th, 2025, when the ship tilted 14 degrees in Milford Sound, New Zealand — again due to sudden wind gusts.
