Welcome everyone.
*Update: The ship has now resumed voyages and is operating normally. Read more about why the ship was detained by clicking here.
Cruise ship, MSC Opera carrying approximately 2000 passengers broke down in the Baltic Sea. The ship is being towed to a Swedish port after experiencing technical problems.
Tug boats were sent to the ship after electrical systems failed off the island of Gotland on Sunday morning. Because of the electrical problems, the engines had to be shut off.
The ship was on a 10 day sailing to Copenhagen, Helsinki, and St. Petersburg and was due to be back in port by Tuesday.
The line says that passengers are not being fed hot meals but are "being taken care of" and will receive flights home. Along with that passengers will also receive a credit voucher for the full value of their trip.
This sounds a lot like what happened on the Carnival Splendor a few months ago while on a trip in the Pacific ocean! Comment your thoughts please! Remember to spread the word about this new blog and we are on Twitter @AmericanCruises
