(Reuters) - A missing 21-year-old man is believed to have fallen overboard during a cruise in the Bahamas, Carnival Cruise Lines said in a statement on Wednesday.
The guest was reported missing on Carnival Glory on Sunday morning and a review of security camera footage confirmed a man overboard, the company said.
It said the U.S. Coast Guard was notified and started search and rescue operations.
Carnival Cruise Lines is part of Carnival Corp.
The name of the missing man has not been released but media reports said he is a student at Virginia Tech University. Reuters was not able to independently confirm those reports.
"We extend our heartfelt sympathy and concern for the family and loved ones of our missing guest," the Carnival statement said.
Carnival Glory returned to the location and participated for a period of time in the search and a second cruise ship, the Carnival Ecstasy, also was diverted by the cruise line to help in the search on Monday, the company said. (Reporting by David Adams; Editing by Susan Heavey)
