The MV Ocean Explorer and its 206 passengers have been pulled free after running aground in Greenland earlier this week.
The luxury cruise ship stranded in Greenland has been pulled free at high tide.
The successful rescue operation took place on Thursday, three days after the MV Ocean Explorer ran aground with 206 people on board, authorities and the ship’s owner said.
The ship was freed by a fisheries research vessel at high tide, according to the cruise ship’s owner, Copenhagen-based SunStone Ships, and the Joint Arctic Command, which coordinated the operation.
“There have not been any injuries to anybody onboard, no pollution of the environment and no breach of the hull,” SunStone Ships said in a statement.
The research vessel which pulled the cruise ship belongs to the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, a government agency, it said.
