May 21, 2025 – Mediterranean Sea
In a stunning and deeply unsettling turn of events, a passenger aboard a Marella Cruises voyage has reportedly vanished without a trace during a night sail between Santorini and Naples.
The missing individual, identified as 43-year-old Thomas Greene from Manchester, UK, was last seen late Monday evening enjoying cocktails on the ship’s upper deck lounge. According to eyewitness accounts, Greene appeared to be in good spirits, chatting with fellow passengers before excusing himself to “get some air.”
When he failed to return to his cabin overnight, his partner alerted ship staff. A full search was launched, including reviews of onboard CCTV, which revealed what some are calling a chilling final image: Greene standing alone near the railing—then vanishing into darkness just moments later.
Passengers have been rattled by the news, with some claiming to have heard “unusual noises” or seen suspicious activity on the deck earlier that night.
Marella Cruises released a statement this morning:
“We are deeply concerned about the incident aboard our vessel and are working closely with local maritime authorities to support the investigation. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the missing passenger during this difficult time.”
Greek coast guard vessels and helicopters have joined the search effort, though chances of survival diminish with each passing hour.
Authorities have not ruled out foul play, and some speculate whether this could be connected to a string of unsolved incidents reported aboard Mediterranean cruise liners over the past two years.
