About Chinese Taishan
MS Chinese Taishan (Chinese: 中华泰山号) is a cruise ship that was formerly owned by Royal Olympic Cruises and Carnival Corporation & plc, sailing for Carnival subsidiaries Costa Crociere and Ibero Cruises as Grand Voyager. On 14 February 2005, Grand Voyager was struck by a freak wave during a mistral storm while operating in the Mediterranean Sea. A 40-to-50-foot (12 to 15 m) tall wave knocked out a window on the bridge and ingressing water disabled the ship's engine controls. Dramatic video of the ship helplessly adrift and rolling to extreme angles was captured by rescue helicopters. The incident occurred less than a month after a similar situation happened aboard Grand Voyager's sister ship Explorer operating in the Pacific. She entered service for Costa in December 2011, and originally scheduled to sail Costa's Corals and Ancient Treasures Red Sea itinerary.
