Photos released by a U.S. commercial satellite imaging company showing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's luxury cruise ship sailing off his impoverished country’s east coast prompted speculation the third-generation ruler was taking a family summer vacation. Although the Kim family’s 80-meter (262-foot) cruise ship – complete with a waterslide and an Olympic-sized swimming pool – was confirmed to be out at sea, there was no sighting of him. Some experts say Kim's recent public appearances on land make it very unlikely that he was on board, while others did not rule out a Kim family retreat at sea.
