MIAMI (Gray News) – The U.S. Coast Guard says a search is underway for a woman who fell overboard on a Taylor Swift-themed cruise.
According to the Coast Guard, the 66-year-old woman was traveling on the Royal Caribbean ship Allure of the Season when she went overboard Tuesday night as the boat was about 17 miles from the Bahamas.
The Royal Bahamas Defense Force is the lead agency in the search with the Coast Guard assisting.
The four-night, five-day cruise set sail just a day earlier from Miami and was en route to the Bahamas.
The cruise is a fan-sponsored event and not affiliated with Swift herself, but was said to feature “all things Taylor” including karaoke, a dance party and friendship bracelet trading.
ABC News reports that about 400 people were registered for the cruise.
The Coast Guard said an airplane and helicopter crew from Air Station Miami were also being used in the search for the woman.
According to the ship’s itinerary, it is scheduled to return to Miami on Friday.
