A cruise is a fantastic way to spend your holiday because it provides everything you need while seeing a number of different locations. Traveling does, however, come with risks.

This was brought to light when Aydin Brown, an American child of 14 years old, vanished while on a cruise around Europe with his grandmother.

Aydin parted ways with his grandma and went exploring the harbor of Rostock-Warnemünde. Aydin was seen on security tape conversing with an unidentified individual before making his way to the Warnemünde church plaza. Thanks to Princess Cruises Line, Aydin’s mother was able to travel to Germany after he vanished, and his grandma stayed close by.

At about ten o’clock on Saturday night, Aydin was located approximately 120 miles from the harbor. The police did not discover any evidence of a crime, and he was scheduled to meet a 19-year-old. Aydin and his family were reunited safely. Princess Cruises has thanked the German authorities for their prompt and efficient action.

Even though Aydin’s tale had a happy ending, not every cruise ship missing a passenger is located. Here are some pointers to help you travel safely:

Travel with someone at all times by using the buddy system. This guarantees that, in the event of difficulty, assistance will be provided.

Be punctual: Cruise ships have strict timetables and won’t wait for passengers that arrive late. Make sure you check the departure time twice a day and set alarms to remind you when to go back on board.

Leave valuables behind:  Bring only what you need for the day. To prevent theft, leave valuables like credit cards, extra cash, and vital documents at home or on the ship.

Drink Responsibly: Have the occasional drink, but don’t go overboard. Drinking too much alcohol might result in mishaps, delayed departures, or even worse.
