The lights of Freeport Harbour narrow into a single fading line as the dark sky and inky ocean come together over deck 6 of the cruise ship Bahamas Celebration.

Over the past decade, nearly 200 people have disappeared from cruise ships, never to be found. Eight have already vanished this year, according to a cruise industry expert who tracks these incidents.

In February, Vancouver businesswoman and mother of two Fariba Amani was on this very cruise ship, the Bahamas Celebration.
She boarded with her boyfriend, Ramiz Golshani, a man she had met at a salsa dancing class in 2011.

Only Golshani returned to Vancouver. He has declined to talk to reporters.
Golshani told FBI investigators and cruise ship security that the two went separate ways after midnight on Feb. 29, the last night of the cruise, she to the gift shop and he to the casino.
At 4:30 a.m., a few hours before the ship was to arrive in Palm Beach, Golshani reported her missing, crew members say. Amani has not been seen since.
