Southampton, England

Southampton is a coastal city located in southern England, about 70 miles southwest of London. The city is a major cruise departure port and one of the country's largest commercial ports. Visitors will find the longest surviving stretch of medieval walls in England and museums such as Tudor House and Garden, the maritime SeaCity Museum and the aviation-focused Solent Sky. Many London tours hit the highlights, from the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and the Crown Jewels display at the Tower of London, to a cruise along the River Thames and a ride on the world-famous London Eye, a 443-foot Ferris wheel offering bird's-eye views of the capital city. It also is a great starting point for countryside excursions to the mysterious structures at Stonehenge as well as the towns of Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare.

Missing American Teen Found Safe After Leaving Cruise Ship in Germany: Reports

Aydin Brown, 14, has reportedly been reunited with his family after his disappearance in Rostock-Warnemünde on Thursday, July 4

The 14-year-old American boy who went missing after disembarking from a cruise ship in Germany this week has reportedly been located and reunited with his family.

As previously reported , Aydin Brown was last seen on Thursday, July 4, at around 7 a.m. local time before he disembarked from a Caribbean Princess cruise ship docked at the German port town of Rostock-Warnemünde.

Now, NBC News has reported that Brown's grandmother confirmed he was found safe. Princess Cruises also told the outlet that the teen was reunited with his family.

In a statement to NBC News, the company wrote that it was "delighted that Aydin Brown has been found safe and sound."

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to German authorities for their swift response and exceptional efforts in locating Aydin after he disembarked in Warnemünde last Thursday morning," the statement continued.

When reached for comment on Sunday, July 7, Princess Cruises did not provide a statement to PEOPLE, instead recommending "confirmation from German officials or the U.S. Embassy in Berlin." Rostock Police in Germany did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday.

Fox News reported, citing local police, that Brown was found in Brandenburg, Germany, where he was unharmed and in the company of a 19-year-old. The outlet also said Brown was reunited with family on Saturday night, July 6, citing a family update on social media.

Related: Authorities Searching for American Teen, 14, Who Went Missing After Leaving Cruise Ship in Germany

As NBC News reported, the search for Brown remained underway as recently as Saturday, when state and local police shared three new photos of the teen. Two of the images were reportedly taken from security video and showed an unknown man speaking to the boy and walking with him toward Warnemünde Church square at around 7:45 a.m. Thursday.

At the time, local authorities said they wanted to speak with the man or anyone who could identify the man.

Brown was traveling with his grandmother on the cruise ship before his disappearance. Authorities said the pair got into an argument before Brown left the ship, as previously reported by Fox News .

Katie Brown, a woman who identified herself as the boy's mother, described her son's appearance on Facebook and noted that he is from Texas and was "spotted by camera with an unknown person” at a “train station."

NBC News  also previously reported that police were looking for the second person, described as being between the ages of 20 and 25.

An American teenager who disappeared in Germany while on a cruise with his family has now turned up safe.

On Wednesday, Aydin Brown, 14, vanished without a trace and his family said they feared he had been “lured” from a dock in Rostock-Warnemunde — a town approximately two hours north of Berlin , Germany .

The teen had gotten into a fight with his grandmother before wandering off on his own, Fox News reported.

Following his disappearance, local police began circulating handouts with Aydin's photo in the hopes that someone had spotted the teen.

Two of the photos were taken from surveillance cameras and showed Aydin speaking with an unidentified man before the two began walking toward a nearby church, NBC News reported.

“My worst nightmare continues to unroll,” Anne Yaktiyol, one of Aydin's cousins, wrote on social media.

“Aydin remains missing . It appears once he left the ship in Warnemunde, Germany, he may have been lured away.”

Police sought the man for questioning.

Three days later, the teenager was found safe and sound.

Princess Cruises, which operates the liner Aydin and his grandmother were taking, issued a statement confirming the teen's safe return.

“We are delighted that Aydin Brown has been found safe and sound,” the cruise line said in a statement on Saturday.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to German authorities for their swift response and exceptional efforts in locating Aydin after he disembarked in Warnemunde last Thursday morning.”

The details surrounding the boy's return remain unclear.
