Luxury Yacht Hits Docked Cruise Ship Allure of the Seas

A luxury yacht collided with the cruise ship Allure of the Seas while docked in Nassau, Bahamas, causing minor damage.

A video circulating on social media shows a luxury yacht named Aurora making contact with the docked Allure of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, in Nassau harbor, Bahamas. The incident occurred as the yacht was maneuvering close to the cruise ship while it was tied to the dock.

Passengers onboard the Allure of the Seas could be heard reacting to the crash, which caused a loud thud when the yacht made contact with the hull. The incident resulted in minor damage, including damage to the yacht's mast and radar dome. The captain announced a possible delay in the ship's departure for Miami due to an inspection.

Allure of the Seas later continued its voyage, spending a day at sea before returning to Miami.
