Royal Caribbean has announced that Captain Erik Tengelsen has been placed on leave following the incident that took place last week onboard Brilliance of the Seas when she encountered a strong storm in the Mediterranean resulting in damage and injuries. The ship is now in the hands of Captain Henrik Sorensen, who was already scheduled to take over the ship in January.
The cruise line has pointed out that Captain Tengelsen has not been fired but instead was placed on leave to participate in the investigation and review of the incident by the Bahamian authorities. Royal Caribbean further noted that he will return to service and assume the position of Captain once again aboard a Royal Caribbean ship after the investigation is completed.
