Cruise ship crime may not be the first thing passengers think about when planning a vacation, but the FBI is warning travelers that serious incidents can happen at sea—and knowing what to do immediately can make a major difference.
In this video, we look at the latest cruise ship crime statistics reported to the FBI, including allegations of rape, sexual assault, theft over $10,000, and tampering with a vessel. We also break down which cruise lines reported the highest raw totals and explain why those numbers do not necessarily mean one cruise line is more dangerous than another.
You’ll also hear real-world examples involving hidden cameras in passenger cabins and alleged misconduct by crew members. Most importantly, we discuss practical cruise safety steps every passenger should know before boarding.
Topics covered include:
• What the FBI cruise crime statistics actually show
• Why the official numbers are not a worldwide total
• The difference between crimes aboard ship and crimes in port
• How ship size, passenger volume, sailing days, and itineraries affect raw totals
• What to do if you discover a hidden camera
• How to report assault, theft, or suspicious activity
• Why you should contact ship security immediately
• How to preserve evidence
• The FBI phone number cruise passengers should save
• Safety tips for adults, children, and teenagers
• Why vacation should never cancel common sense
FBI contact number: 1-800-CALL-FBI
1-800-225-5324
During an immediate emergency aboard a cruise ship, contact ship security or the ship’s emergency number first.
Cruising can still be a safe and enjoyable way to travel, but passengers should understand the risks, know how to report an incident, and use the same common sense they would use at home.
