On the outside, Mlina Roberge, 22, and Isabelle Lagac, 28, appeared to be living lives most people only dream of, while snapping selfies in Morocco and on the beaches of Bermuda and getting tattoos in French Polynesia.

But Australian authorities say the Canadian women were secretly moving $22 million in cocaine aboard a globe-trekking cruise ship, leading to the biggest narcotics haul ever recovered from such a vessel, ABC News reported.

The Quebec womens reported two-month world cruise came to a screeching halt on Sunday when the MS Sea Princess docked in Sydney and Australian Border Force officials raided their cabin with drug-sniffing dogs. Once the search was over, federal authorities announced they had recovered approximately 209 pounds of cocaine.
