"P&O Britannia Cruise Ship Collides with Tanker in Mallorca Storm"

TL;DR Summary
The P&O Cruises ship Britannia broke free from mooring lines during a severe storm in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and collided with a nearby tanker. Both vessels sustained minor damage, and guests were ordered to remain in their staterooms. Britannia anchored offshore until the weather cleared and then returned to the dock with tug assistance. No significant injuries were reported, and the ship's structure and safety were not compromised. It is unclear if the ship's itinerary will be impacted, and further assessments are needed before it can set sail again. This incident follows a series of recent cruise ship breakages caused by poor weather conditions.
