Crews are searching for a cruise ship passenger who went overboard near the Florida Keys late Sunday night, authorities say.

Crews have been searching for the man overnight into Monday morning, U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss said.

The USCG was alerted of the incident aboard the Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas late Sunday night between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., WPTV reported.

The man reportedly fell or jumped overboard about 20 miles off the coast of Marathon. Doss does not believe the man was pushed, or that any foul play was involved.

Two Canadian Coast Guard ships, a Coast Guard Cutter, a helicopter and a boat crew are all involved in the extensive search.

The cruise ship was also involved in the search, but has since continued on towards its destination while the search for the victim continues.
