A body has been recovered after a passenger fell overboard from a P&O Cruises’ ship.
The woman was reported missing from Aurora as it sailed from the Spanish port of La Coruna to Barcelona on Friday.
The ship’s crew was alerted and ordered an immediate search for the woman, who has not yet been named.
Authorities and P&O Cruises’ care team are providing assistance for the woman’s family.
The cruise line said: “Our care team is supporting the family and offering assistance.”
It is understood that passengers were informed of the discovery of the body through an announcement from the ship’s captain Ian Hutley.
Aurora left Southampton for a 14-night western Mediterranean cruise last Wednesday.
