Cruise ship pulled free after running aground in Greenland

COPENHAGEN — A luxurious cruise ship that ran aground this week in a distant Greenland location with 206 folks on board has been pulled free by a trawler, a spokesperson for Denmark’s armed forces stated on Thursday.

The Ocean Explorer cruise vessel had since Monday been caught in mud and silt within the Alpefjord nationwide park, some 1,400 km (870 miles) northeast of Greenland’s capital Nuuk.

Denmark’s armed forces and the cruise ship’s operator have stated there have been no accidents among the many passengers or crew. — Reuters
