You're probably thinking of the Sea Diamond of Louis Cruise Lines, which scraped a reef in the Aegean Sea in April 2007 near Santorini. It was carrying 1200 passengers and 400 crew, all of whom had plenty of time to escape safely during a three-hour rescue mission with helicopters etc. The ship sank 15 hours after the incident.

More than one cruise ship has sunk over the years. However, the most famous one, by far, is the Titanic. The Titanic was touted as being "unsinkable," but sank in the Atlantic on its maiden voyage after striking an iceberg. The Titanic has been the subject of several movies and books, and has become a pop culture icon.
