# Passenger overboard from the Norwegian Jewel on a voyage to Miami

2025-10-20

NBC 6 South Florida reported that a guest went overboard from the Norwegian Jewel on October 20, 2025, during a voyage from Ponta Delgada, Portugal, to Miami. Norwegian said a search involving other vessels did not find the passenger.

For a death on the high seas more than three nautical miles from the U.S. shore, the federal Death on the High Seas Act can apply, and it limits what a family can recover. The ticket's notice period for a death claim is paused until a representative of the estate is appointed or three years pass, whichever comes first.
