British Passenger Reported Missing From Celebrity Cruise Ship Off Portugal MIAMI (AP) -- Celebrity Cruises said Thursday that a 73-year old British passenger was reported missing from a ship off Portugal.A crew member reported the disappearance Wednesday, after it appeared the man traveling alone had not used his cabin on the Celebrity Century, the Miami-based cruise line said. The captain immediately began a search, reversed course to retrace the ship's path and began making public announcements, the company said.

 

The ship had left Madeira, Portugal, the same day, and ship logs indicate the guest did not disembark in port, the company said.

Company spokeswoman Lynn Martenstein said the line was reviewing surveillance tapes and talking to people who may have seen the man, whose identity was not released.

Celebrity said it notified British, Portuguese and Bahamian officials and the FBI, and was cooperating fully with all authorities.

The ship was allowed to continue on its 14-night trans-Atlantic cruise from Barcelona, Spain, to Miami, which began Oct. 27, the company said.
