Reading Time: < 1 minute

The cruise ship Viking Sky,  that got into trouble off the Norwegian coast,  is now safely at the port of Molde in Norway. This after three of the ship’s four engines were later restarted.

The Viking Sky had lost power on Saturday in rough sea and sent out a distress signal after it began drifting towards land.

Almost 500 of the 1,373 people on board were airlifted off in bad weather. The cruise’s operator said 436 guests and 458 crew remained on board.

Evacuations were halted as the Viking Sky made its way to Molde on Sunday, accompanied by several tugboats.
