The Coral Adventurer, an Australian cruise ship with 124 people aboard, ran aground on a reef off Papua New Guinea on Saturday morning. Refloat efforts have been unsuccessful, and passengers will be flown home early.

This grounding occurred during the vessel's first voyage since that prior incident. The investigation into the earlier death is ongoing.
