A 73-YEAR-OLD man has gone missing on a cruise ship bound for Darwin.
A statement from Sun Princess has confirmed its crew is trying to locate the man onboard the ship, which is currently sailing from the Kimberley Coast in Western Australia to Darwin, the NT News reports.
The elderly passenger was reported missing from the Sun Princess by his wife at 9am (WST) this morning.
"Public address announcements have been made onboard but there has been no response," the statement to the NT News said.
"A missing person's procedure is currently underway and Sun Princess has turned around to retrace the ship's course.
The ship is sailing from Fremantle to Darwin and was 40 nautical miles north of Cape Londonderry when the alarm was raised.
The Sun Princess, which holds up to 2432 passengers, is on day nine of a 16-day cruise from Fremantle to Sydney.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is coordinating the search, which involves the Sun Princess, two more vessels and three aircraft.
The AMSA plane Dornier, a Customs Dash 8 aircraft and an NT Police aircraft are involved in the search, as are a merchant vessel and the HMAS Maryborough.
An AMSA spokeswoman said the search would continue until last light, and then a decision would be made on the potential survivability for anyone in the water for an extended period of time.
The Sun Princess was due to dock in Darwin on Wednesday.
