A passenger died Thursday when he went overboard on an MSC Cruises ship that was sailing through the deepest fjord in Norway — the second time in under three months somebody fell from the same vessel.
The man “in his late 50s” plunged from the MSC Euribia around 2 a.m. as the ship sailed through the Sognefjord, known as the King of the Fjords, Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende reported.
A rescue helicopter recovered his body from the 4,300-foot-deep waters about an hour later and flew him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The circumstances around the incident were not clear, but a police officer told the paper that it is being investigated as a “suspicious death.”
“It could be an accident, a criminal act, or an intentional act,” he said.
The man was reportedly traveling with his wife.
MSC Cruises did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Cruise ship tracking data shows that the ship — a 19-story liner — turned around in the narrow channel shortly after the incident.
The ship is continuing on its seven-day journey despite the tragedy and is on track to return to Kiel as planned on Saturday, June 8.
The incident marks the seventh time a person has gone overboard on an MSC cruise ship in less than seven months, according to Cruise Law News.
Liam Brody Wilkie Jones is presumed dead after vanishing from the very same MSC Euribia ship during a seven-day cruise around Europe in March.
He died just one month after a passenger plunged from the MSC Bellissima while it was traveling from Taiwan to Okinawa. That person survived.
The massive 213-foot tall Euribia can carry more than 8,000 people.
A ticket for the Norway cruise off which the man fatally plunged Tuesday costs roughly $700 per person, according to MSC’s website.
