Daniel Kueblboeck and his Canadian cruise
German former TV star Daniel Kueblboeck, 38 was aboard the cruise of Aida Cruises and he was traveling on this ship in the capacity of a private passenger.
He was not in a group and was one of the different 2200 passengers who were all on their way to Newfoundland after having set sail from the German Port City of Hamburg.
Daniel was on a holiday cruise on board the ship named AIDAluna and was going from Hamburg to New York, as per the German newspaper Bild. Bild also said that a co-passenger was an eyewitness who has seen someone jumping from the fifth deck of the ship.
The Aida Cruises is an American/British-owned German cruise and has been in operation since the 1960s. The Company is now called Costa Cruises Group and is the world’s largest cruise holiday company. It aims to have onboard younger and more active holiday-makers.
Daniel Kueblboeck goes missing
It is said that around 185 kilometers (100 nautical miles) to the north of the city of St. Johns in Newfoundland Daniel Kueblboeck went missing. The cruise company believes that Daniel might have jumped overboard.
They state that there is a reason to believe that on Sunday morning Daniel jumped overboard and into the sea in which the water temperature is said to be around 10.5 degrees Celsius.
The company’s spokesperson Hansjoerg Kunze said:
“That is our suspicion,”
It was difficult to obtain comments from Daniel’s management company.
