Two people have been killed and six injured as giant waves slammed into a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, the ship's owners have said.
The 26ft (8m) high rogue waves hit the Cypriot-owned Louis Majesty off the north-east coast of Spain.
A spokesman for owner Louis Cruises said three "abnormally high" waves broke windows in the front of the ship.
...
Holland America Line's Prinsendam was hit by a rogue wave some years back (we know crew members who were aboard at the time) and weathered it relatively well:
In March 2007, Holland America's cruise ship MS Prinsendam was hit by a 21-meter (69 ft) tall rogue wave in the Antarctic segment around the tip of South America.
And while I love going through storms at sea, I won't be sad if I don't experience this.
