MS Chinese Taishan is a cruise ship that was sailing for Costa Crociere and was formerly owned by Royal Olympic Cruises and Ibero Cruises as Grand Voyager. On 14-Feb-2005 the MV Grand Voyager was struck by a freak wave during a mistral storm while operating in the Mediterranean. A 40 to 50 foot 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. This incident occurred less than a month after a similar situation happened aboard Grand Voyager's sister-ship the MV Explorer operating in the Pacific.
