A fire aboard Amadea prompted the evacuation of 320 passengers while the cruise ship was at Rønne port in Denmark on September 14. No injuries were reported, and all of the passengers who evacuated from the vessel were reported to be in good condition.
Bornholm Police received an alarm at 07:21 after the fire began in a linen-storage compartment. Amadea was alongside the port’s cruise quay at the time. The fire was extinguished by 07:31, and police were investigating how the blaze started in the compartment.
Phoenix Reisen, a German cruise company, operates the Bahamas-flagged Amadea. The ship had arrived at Rønne after visiting Gdansk during a Baltic itinerary. It was scheduled to continue to Wismar in Germany before returning to Bremerhaven.
