A cruise passenger is suing MSC Cruises, saying she was sexually assaulted by a crew member while aboard the ship, the MSC Meraviglia. 

According to the lawsuit, filed on February 24, MSC Cruises "failed to provide a reasonably safe environment" for its passengers and failed to protect them from sexual assault.

The plaintiff, a 29-year-old woman from Saratoga Springs, Utah, was on a weeklong cruise that departed from Port Canaveral, Florida, on February 5.
