Company officials said a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship temporarily lost power Tuesday afternoon, running aground off the coast of Bermuda as it hit a reef. But there were no immediate reports of injuries.
The company said in a statement the Norwegian Dawn first went dark around 5 p.m. ET, shortly after departing from King's Wharf, Bermuda, on its way back to Boston.
The company said, "The ship's propulsion was affected and, at which time, the vessel made contact with the channel bed. All guests and crew are safe."
But while power was restored to the 965-foot-long ship, the U.S. Coast Guard dispatched a tug and dive team to look for any damage to the hull.
According to NBC affiliate WHDH in Boston, there are 2,765 passengers and 1,062 crew members on board.
