00:00A luxury cruise liner is supposed to be a relaxing experience that is intended for anyone looking to unwind.
00:06Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned when you are at sea.
00:10Today, we are going to be taking a look at cruise ship crashes that were caught on camera.
00:15Number 1
00:16First up, take a look as the Carnival Legend collides with the Carnival Glory
00:21as both of the cruise ships attempt to dock near one another in Cozumel, Mexico.
00:25You can watch as the Carnival Glory cruise ship begins to turn in the water,
00:30swinging the rear of the ship unintentionally toward the front of the Carnival Legend,
00:34which was already docked.
00:35Onlookers began to gasp as they could see that the collision was imminent.
00:40Things got really serious as the Carnival Legend began to literally tear through multiple levels of the Carnival Glory.
00:47As the two separated shortly after the collision, you can see debris falling into the water below.
00:53It must have been a truly terrifying experience for anyone on board either of the ships,
00:57and it's a good thing that no one was reported as being harmed in the situation.

01:03Onlookers were in shock as a 2,200-passenger cruise ship
01:07went crashing into one of the most popular cruise ports in the entire world.
01:13The port is located in Barcelona, Spain, and it acts as a major cruise hub for every country in Europe.
01:20You can imagine the surprise as a cruise ship known as Excellent came crashing into the port,
01:25which then caused a crane to come crashing down, resulting in a small explosion.
01:30The entire incident was captured on video from all angles.
01:33You can watch as Excellent goes head-first into the dock,
01:37with the front end of the ship tapping against a large crane.
01:40The crane can then be seen toppling down,
01:43which is followed by an explosion that could be seen from all across the port.
01:47Reports say that the cruise ship was in the process of arriving in Barcelona
01:52following a voyage from Genoa, Italy.
01:54Control of the ship was allegedly lost as the ship experienced bad weather.
01:59Number 3
02:00It was at a dock in Honduras where the MSC Armonia was filmed as it crashed into the dock.
02:06The person filming the incident along with those on board the ship were all unharmed,
02:10but the video shows the exact moment that the Armonia begins to tear the pier to pieces
02:16as it brushed along the side of the ship.
02:19You can see as everyone in the area attempts to get a better view of the incident,
02:23and as the ship continues to move, the pier gets more and more torn to pieces.
02:27Damage can be seen along the sides of the Armonia,
02:30and it appears to be just above the waterline.
02:33The ship soon came to a stop, and damage was then assessed.
02:37Number 4
02:38In this next clip, you can watch as a large cruise ship
02:42makes a narrow pass by an equally large container ship.
02:46There was hardly any space between the two ships,
02:49and as the cruise ship continued to pass,
02:52they only grew closer to one another until finally they made contact.
02:56Thankfully, it looks like the lifeboats or rescue vehicles took the majority of the damage.
03:01As you can see the large red rafts falling into the ocean below
03:05after the two ships began to hit one another.
03:07After pulling apart from each other and assessing the damage,
03:10it's likely that other than the lifeboats being damaged, the ships were fine,
03:15though it's clear that it could have been much worse.
03:18Number 5
03:19Tourists in Venice were in for a massive surprise
03:22as a cruise ship was filmed coming barreling toward the dock.
03:26You can watch as people on the dock flee from the approaching ship,
03:30as it appeared unable to slow and come to a stop before the inevitable collision.
03:34Along with the dock, the cruise ship crashed into a tourist boat
03:38that was anchored and docked in front of it.
03:40You can see the incident occur from all different angles,
03:43as onlookers from every direction, including on board the cruise ship,
03:47began filming the accident.
03:49The cruise ship seemed to literally wedge itself between the tourist boat
03:53and the dock before finally coming to a halt.
03:56Number 6
03:57As the Carnival Triumph cruise ship was sitting in Mobile, Alabama,
04:01as it waited for repairs, people on shore were shocked
04:05as they watched the cruise ship come into contact with another ship
04:08that had also been docked there.
04:10Video was captured that shows Carnival Triumph slowly but surely
04:15coming into contact with what has been identified as a vessel belonging to the U.S. Army.
04:20Following the collision of the two ships,
04:22they separated from one another and the damage was assessed.
04:25The Carnival Triumph ended up sustaining a breach through the hull
04:29in the form of a gash that was about 20 feet long.
04:32There were also reports of a damaged railing
04:34along with damage to the stern above the ship's waterline.
04:38Number 7
04:39In this next video, which was taken by an onlooker,
04:42captured the moment when the Norwegian Epic cruise ship
04:46came into contact with a small dock as the captain was pulling into the port.
04:50As the Epic begins to graze the small platform,
04:53you can see the structure of the dock begin to shift.
04:56In no time, the foundation of the dock must have given out
04:59because it quickly plummeted into the water.
05:02Within the seconds that followed, the Epic continued moving forward
05:06and crashed into another section of the port,
05:08causing another small platform to crash down into the water.
05:12Luckily, the Epic did eventually come to a stop,
05:15but you can see in the video all of the guests
05:17as they stand on their balconies watching the incident unfold.
05:22Number 8
05:23On May 18, 2017, the Kaidan crashed into a pier
05:27located at the Santo Domingo port in the Dominican Republic,
05:31causing major damage to the ship and the port.
05:34The crash also caused many containers on the pier to be displaced
05:38and caused significant damage to the infrastructure of the surrounding area.
05:42The damage can be seen from multiple angles
05:45as onlookers as well as many news outlets covered the story.
05:49Thankfully, according to the reports,
05:50any damage done to the Kaidan was not below the waterline,
05:54and the ship was able to return to operation after some brief repairs.
05:59Number 9
06:00You can tell that the people on board both of these cruise ships
06:04are not happy in this next clip.
06:06Watch as the two ships collide at Port Canaveral.
06:09As the one cruise ship seemed to lose control,
06:12it slowly came crashing into the side of the other.
06:15The impact was a direct hit and shook up everyone who was on board.
06:20Thankfully, no one had gotten hurt.
06:22The damage done to the two cruise ships is unclear,
06:25but both of them needed to return to port for repairs following the collision.
06:30Number 10
06:31In this next clip, you can watch as things go terribly wrong
06:35as the cruise ship known as Infinity attempted to dock in Ketchikan, Alaska.
06:40As the ship was in the process of lining up properly to dock itself at the pier,
06:45things went awry and the ship crashed into the dock
06:48which resulted in a gash along the bow of the ship
06:51that was about 12 feet long and close to the waterline of the Infinity.
06:55The dock itself was also heavily damaged.
06:58You can watch as pieces of the dock began falling to the water below
07:01as the ship came slamming into the side of it.
07:04Damage to the dock was estimated to be between 2 and 3 feet.
