What prove is there that a cruise ship can survive a tsunami?

When getting word of a tsunami, a cruise ship will head out to the deepest part of the ocean she can reach. In deep water, a tsunami may only be a couple of feet or even inches high. It is not until the tsunami reaches shallow water that the wave reaches any appreciable height. In fact, a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean may be the safest place to be during a tsunami.
