Two crew members have died on a Holland America cruise ship during an "incident" in the ship's engineering space, the cruise line has said.

The pair died on Friday while the Nieuw Amsterdam liner was at the small island of Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, Holland America added in a statement. Officials have been notified and the cause is being investigated.

Other crew members have been offered counselling.

Holland America said it was "deeply saddened" by the deaths, adding: "Our thoughts and prayers are with our team members' families at this difficult time. The safety, security and welfare of all guests and crew are the company's absolute priority."

No further details about the crew members have been shared.

The ship, which can carry more than 2,000 people, set sail out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on 16 March for a seven-night trip.

Odds are, the U.S. government will investigate because the ship was homeported in Florida, irrespective of the ship's flag of residence.

Yes investigation is underway, they need to know what really happened but it is a sad one for the families

May they rest in peace. I feel sad for the families who were left behind. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences someone can go through.

The family members are always the worse hit especially if the dead was a very young person and the parents are still alive.
