The cruise line said authorities have been notified and the cause of the accident is being investigated.
Crew members were counseled.
“All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of our team members at this difficult time,” the statement read. “The safety, security and well-being of all guests and crew members is the company’s absolute priority.”
