A young child was hospitalized after falling on board a cruise ship<\/a> while it was docked in a popular destination, local media reported.<\/p>\n

The 2-year-old fell aboard a TUI Cruises-operated ship, Mein Schiff 7, while it was docked in Funchal, Madeira, according to DN Madeira, a local Portuguese news outlet based in Madeira<\/a>. The toddler did not appear to fall into the water, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Funchal is the capital of the Madeira archipelago, as well as its main port and a popular cruise ship stop.<\/p>\n

The child, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly conscious when responders arrived. The child was with the mother<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

Reports said the toddler fell approximately six to 10 feet, reports said.<\/p>\n

The circumstances of the fall and where on the ship it took place remain unclear. Authorities have not shared additional details.<\/p>\n

The 2-year-old was in “serious condition,” DN Madeira reported, and was sent to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Dr. N\u00e9lio Mendon\u00e7a Hospital.<\/p>\n

TUI Cruises pushed back on reports about the toddler’s condition.<\/p>\n

The Germany-based cruise company told Fox News Digital in a statement that the child “was never in a critical condition, nor did [the child] have life-threatening injuries.”<\/p>\n

The company said, “We can confirm an incident on Mein Schiff 7 in Madeira involving a child.”<\/p>\n

The child is “in [the] hospital<\/a> for routine observation,” the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
