The U.S. Coast Guard says it has suspended the search for a man believed to have gone overboard from a cruise ship as it was returning to San Francisco after a voyage to Ensenada, Mexico.

It wasn't immediately clear what led to the incident. The U.S. Coast Guard was called in to help find the passenger, but has since called off the search.

A 72-year-old man likely went overboard from a Princess Cruises ship before it docked in San Francisco this morning.

A 72-year-old man is believed to have gone overboard during a five-day Princess Cruise trip to Mexico, company officials said. The passenger's disappearance was ruled as a man overboard situation after company officials said they extensively reviewed CCTV footage and the ship was searched several times without success.

The Coast Guard evacuated an ailing passenger from Celebrity Apex on December 2, 2024, while the vessel was about 130 miles from Puerto Rico.

A passenger on the Ruby Princess is believed to have gone overboard ahead of the cruise ship’s arrival Monday in San Francisco, according to officials. In a statement, Princess Cruises said the 72-year-old man was not found following an extensive review of closed-circuit television footage and several searches of the vessel.
