The Orient Queen cruise ship capsized at her berth in Beirut following Lebanon's deadly explosion on Tuesday.
One of the ship's crew members was killed in the blast and another is reported missing.
Several other crew members are in hospitals across the city, said the ship's operator Abou Merhi Cruises, who called the incident a tragedy.
The 120-metre long vessel capsized overnight in Beirut. Tuesday's explosion caused damage to the berth that led to the ship taking on too much water.
Extensive damage was also reported at the head office of Abou Merhi Cruises, in the Awwal Bliss area of Beirut.
The Orient Queen had capacity for up to 300 passengers. At the time of the blast, no travellers were on board because summer cruising operations had been cancelled due to the coroanivurs pandemic.
The five-star cruise liner typically sails from Beirut Port to five destinations in Europe and Asia during summer. Had normal operations been in place, it’s likely that the cruise liner would have been at sea at the time of the explosion.
“It’s a sad, sad day for all of us,” said the cruise operator on social media. “Abou Merhi Cruises has lost a precious soul in the tragedy that took place at the port of Beirut. Heilemariam Reta (Hailey) from Ethiopia.”
"Our prayers and thoughts are with the family of Mustafa Airout from Syria who was at the port and is still missing," continued the post.
A representative of the cruise operator said Mr Airout had last been seen "very close to the explosion".
