The man from Scotland has not been named but was 83 years old.
He was found unresponsive in the swimming pool, according to local Italian media.
“We can confirm that sadly a passenger passed away of natural causes onboard Marella Voyager. Our thoughts are with the passenger’s family during this difficult time, and our care team is providing assistance,” the cruise line said.
