About 1,300 passengers and crew are being evacuated Saturday from a cruise ship off Norway, Norwegian emergency services said.
The Viking Sky cruise ship sent a mayday distress signal due to "engine problems in bad weather," Borghild Eldoen, a spokeswoman for southern Norway's rescue center, told CNN.
The ship is adrift in rough seas in the Hustadvika area on the western coast of Norway and is working to get more than one engine running, the rescue center said on Twitter.
