On Saturday, A Viking Sky Cruise Ship stranded off the coast of Norway was towed to shore after facing harsh conditions, leaving many passengers traumatized.

Carrying 1373 passengers and crew, The Viking Sky struggled against heavy seas and engine trouble when it issued a mayday call. Out of these,  479 passengers were airlifted to land by helicopters facing wind gusts up to 69 kilometres an hour.

After docking, the Viking Ocean Cruises Company confirmed all of the passengers and crew on the ship were safe.
