Eight cruise guests were stranded in São Tomé and Príncipe. The ship "Norwegian Dawn" had not yet left the port of the African island state.
A couple left behind is making serious allegations against the shipping company. NCL has not yet responded to a SPIEGEL query about the allegations. But in a statement, the company confirmed that eight passengers "who were on the island on their own or with a private tour" missed the last boat back to the ship and were therefore unable to keep the time to return.
