The incident happened at around 9.35am on Sunday (2 April) after the vessel departed Miami for Honduras. The ship returned to port following the tragedy and has since resumed sailing with some changes to its planned itinerary.
Virgin Voyages said: "This passenger went over their balcony onto a lower deck, and despite receiving immediate medical attention, has passed away.
"We are deeply saddened by this loss of life and our hearts and thoughts are with this person’s loved ones. After the incident, the ship was immediately redirected back to Miami, where the team are working closely with local officials."
