UK tourist saved after falling off ship

ZAGREB: A British tourist who fell off a cruise ship near Croatia has been rescued and is safe after spending a full night in the Adriatic Sea, officials said yesterday. “I was in the water for 10 hours, so these wonderful guys rescued me,” the woman said after her rescue on Sunday. “I am very lucky to be alive.” The tourist, who said she “fell of the back” of the Norwegian Star cruise ship, was found by Croatia’s Coast Guard on Sunday around 1.3km from where she went overboard, a Defence Ministry spokesman said.
