P&O Cruises confirmed the person was a passenger on board the Pacific Adventure – the company’s newest cruise liner.

They died at Mystery Island, a popular destination for travellers due to its stunning beaches.

In a statement the cruise company said: “We extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones and are doing everything we can to support them during this difficult time.

“As we are working with the relevant authorities and to protect the privacy of the family, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
