On 22 March 2011, Rebecca Coriam, a 24-year-old British crew member, disappeared while serving aboard the Disney Wonder, a cruise ship operated by Disney Cruise Line. She was last seen on CCTV in the crew lounge that morning, appearing distressed during a phone call. Several hours later, she failed to report for duty and could not be located on board. Her disappearance was the first such incident in the history of Disney Cruise Line.
Coriam's whereabouts remain unknown, and the case is still under investigation. Her parents have criticised Disney's handling of the inquiry, alleging that the company prioritised reputation management over transparency and cooperation. In 2016, the family settled a civil claim against Disney out of court.
The Coriam family have received support from British government officials advocating for improved investigative protocols in cases of missing persons at sea, and from campaigners representing the families of other crew and passengers reported missing from cruise ships.
