Costa Allegra Disembarkation In Mahe

The Costa Allegra arrived at the port of Victoria on the Seychelles island of Mahe today after three days at sea without power.

Ambulances, a Red Cross medical team and small buses awaited the arrival of the ship where passengers have been forced to stay up on deck to keep cool in temperatures reaching 35C. It is understood that fresh food had run out but that the ship had been resupplied by helicopter as it got nearer to the island.

Passengers said that there had been no working toilets, showers, lights or air conditioning.

Costa Cruises said 376 passengers had accepted its offer to continue their holiday in the Seychelles at the firm’s expense whilst the other passengers will fly home.
