The world's longest cruise ship has crashed into a dock as passengers were heard screaming in chilling footage.
Royal Caribbean’s The Harmony of the Seas 1,188-foot cruise ship crashed into a pier in Jamaica.
At the country's busy port on the northern shore, Falmouth, the cruise liner attempted to dock around 7am on Thursday but proceeded to smash into the dock.
As the ship started drifting towards the port, passengers could be heard screaming in a video which has garnered more than half a million views on social media.
“Oh my God”, one woman could be heard crying out in a video, while another passenger was heard yelling “Holy sh**”.
Royal Caribbean said in a statement that despite the terrifying accident, there were no injuries but the ship did sustain some "cosmetic damage".
The port was also damaged in the collision, as the huge 227,000-tonne vessel crushed the pier structure.
Authorities have said an investigation is underway.
The Harmony holds 6,687-passengers and was launched in 2016.
Despite the accident, the cruise was able to continue its journey without any issues and passengers could continue to enjoy their tour and planned activities.
Falmouth's Minister Edmund Bartlett said: "We are repairing the damaged areas at the port now.
"The divers are there now recovering the broken elements and we should be back in full order for the ships that come next week.”
The collision was reportedly the harbour pilot’s “error”, as the captain of the Harmony was allegedly misdirected by the harbour pilot, according to reports.
The Port Authority of Jamaica said in a statement on Friday that they may opt to convene a formal enquiry into the collision involving Royal Caribbean and an enquiry would be carried out to assess the infrastructure.
The Royal Caribbean ship had set off on a seven-day cruise from Port Canaveral in Florida.
It then went to the capital city of The Bahamas, Nassau, on Monday, and private island destination CocoCay on Tuesday.
It was then set to head for Labadee Haiti, another Royal Caribbean private island, before arriving back in Florida two days later.
The mammoth ship is 1,188ft long and 226,963 gross tonnes.
It cost around £1billion to build and guests can choose from 23 swimming pools and 17 decks, as well as a 1,400 seater theatre all to accommodate more than 6000 guests.
The largest cruise liner in the world, the Wonder of the Seas, is around 10,000 more tonnes than Harmony.
