A 60-day cruise around Australia has been cancelled days after the death of an elderly female passenger who was left behind by the ship on a remote island.
Suzanne Rees had been hiking on Lizard Island with fellow passengers from the Coral Adventurer, but broke off from the group for a rest. The ship left without her and returned several hours later after the crew realised the woman was missing.
A major search operation found her body the following day.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) is investigating the incident, alongside Queensland Police and the state coroner.
