突发！男船员刺伤女船员后跳海身亡……

一名男性船员涉嫌刺伤女同事后跳海身亡，事件迅速引发全球关注。

刺伤与跳海的悲剧 根据皇家巴哈马警察局（Royal Bahamas Police Force）和多家媒体报道，事件发生在2025年7月24日（星期四）晚上7:30左右，地点位于巴哈马圣萨尔瓦多岛（San Salvador Island）附近海域。

当时，“海洋图标”号正从迈阿密出发，执行为期7天的东加勒比航线，计划前往皇家加勒比的私人岛屿CocoCay。

一名35岁的南非男性船员涉嫌在船上与一名28岁的南非女性船员发生争执，期间用刀多次刺伤女同事的上半身。

随后，男性船员逃离现场，从游轮上跳入大海。船上立即启动“Oscar, Oscar, Oscar”警报（皇家加勒比的“人落水”代码），并迅速展开搜救行动。

 搜救人员将该男性船员从海中救起，但其被救起时已无反应，经船上医疗团队确认不幸身亡。

受伤的女船员被送往船上医疗中心接受治疗，后被空运至迈阿密医院，目前情况稳定，伤势不危及生命。

皇家加勒比游轮公司在声明中表示，这是一起“个人争端”（personal dispute），并对事件表示遗憾：

“我们的安保团队迅速响应了两名船员之间的个人争端。一名船员受伤，由船上医疗团队处理，目前情况稳定。遗憾的是，另一名船员在落水后被救起，但不幸去世。我们向其家人和亲友表示深切慰问。”

公司出于隐私考虑，未透露更多细节。

有乘客回忆，事件发生时，船上广播突然响起“Oscar”警报，船员们迅速行动，游轮减速并掉头进行搜救。视频显示救援船只将男性船员的遗体运回游轮的场景，令人揪心。

A shocking incident took place onboard Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas on the evening of Thursday, July 24, 2025, when a male crew member stabbed a female colleague and later died after jumping into the ocean.

According to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, the incident happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. while the ship was sailing off the coast of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas.

A 35-year-old South African male crew member allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old South African female crew member multiple times in her upper body. After the attack, he reportedly fled and jumped overboard.

Initial media reports had wrongly claimed that a crew member had simply “fallen” off the ship. However, police later clarified that it was not an accidental fall but a result of the violent incident onboard.

Passengers who witnessed the incident said that crewmembers threw life rings into the water to mark the location after the man jumped. Since Icon of the Seas is the world’s largest cruise ship, it took some time for it to slow down and turn around, even though it was cruising at a relatively low speed after spending a day at sea. The ship was on its way to Royal Caribbean’s private island, CocoCay, for a scheduled stop the next day.

The ship’s crew quickly launched a high-speed rescue boat to search for the man. He was found in the water unconscious and brought back to the vessel. Despite rescue efforts, onboard medical staff pronounced him dead after his recovery. According to Royal Caribbean, the man was “recovered” but could not be saved.

The female victim received immediate medical attention onboard and was later confirmed to be in stable condition. Police said she had suffered multiple stab wounds but was treated and is recovering.

Royal Caribbean International released a statement confirming that the incident involved “a personal dispute between two crew members.” The onboard security team responded quickly, and no passengers were harmed or put at risk.

The cruise line added that “one of the crew members was injured, was attended to by the onboard medical team, and she is now in stable condition.” It also confirmed the death of the male crew member after the overboard incident.

Cruise tracking data shows that Icon of the Seas remained on schedule. The ship reached CocoCay on time on Friday, July 25, and is expected to return to PortMiami on Saturday, July 26, to complete its 7-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary. The ship will then depart on its next scheduled 7-night Western Caribbean cruise.

Passengers onboard reported that many were unaware of the incident until much later, as it was not announced publicly. Some videos later shared with media showed crewmembers rushing after hearing the code “Oscar Oscar Oscar,” which is the standard man overboard alert.

Police have scheduled an autopsy to determine the exact cause of the male crew member’s death, including any possible contributing factors.

Royal Caribbean expressed condolences to the family of the deceased crew member and said it would not share further details to respect the privacy of those involved.
