"Madleen, named after a Palestinian fisher, is set to sail today to Gaza to help break the aid blockade imposed by the Israeli army. Stressing its peaceful intentions and nature, the Flotilla announced itself clear of any forms of weaponry.
On board, the team includes: Alana Hadid, Susan Sarandon, Daniel Machover, Abby Martin, Brian Eno, Max Porter, Aiysha Hart, Greta Thunberg, Liam Cunningham, Indya Moore, Guy Pearce, Rahma Zein, Maxine Peake, Melissa Barrera, Lisa Moorish, Nicole Jenes, Juliet Stevenson, Misan Harriman, Khalid Abdalla, Nan Goldin, Susan Abulhawa, Del Naja, and Carice Van.
The ship carries life-saving aid, including baby formula, medical supplies, and more.

I don't see any news apart from a couple of small articles on Middle East Eye and The Cradle that some of these people are actually on board the Madleen.

Can you share any other sources that show Susan, Guy or other on board?

I also had a look because the last name seemed cut off, and the only official source I found was this article:

https://freedomflotilla.org/2025/06/01/a-month-after-conscience-attack-freedom-flotilla-ship-madleen-sets-sail-for-gaza/

On board the ‘Madleen’ (in alphabetical order) are:

Yasemin Acar – Germany

Baptiste Andre – France

Thiago Avila – Brazil

Omar Faiad – France

Rima Hassan – France

Pascal Maurieras- France

Yanis Mhamdi – France

Şuayb Ordu – Turkey

Greta Thunberg – Sweden

Sergio Toribio – Spain

Marco Van Rennes – The Netherlands

Reva Viard – France

Edit: quotes and line breaks suck on Lemmy, but I think I fixed it, mostly

I don't think that they are all on the current ship. Only 12 people are onboard and I don't think only Greta and Liam are the well know names. The others didn't go this time.

You may want to edit your post because when you say 'On board' it sounds like they are on the boat.

You could list those on the boat as 'On board' and then list those supporting them separately.
