A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 passengers and crew was “successfully” freed Thursday amid fears of a potential COVID-19 outbreak on board.
The owner of the Ocean Explorer, Copenhagen-based SunStone Ships, said a fishing vessel owned by the Greenland government pulled the cruise ship out of the mud and silt that had immobilized it.
“On Thursday early morning the OCEAN EXPLORER was successfully pulled off the grounding in the East Greenland Fjord. This was done based on a pull from the vessel TARAJOQ and the vessel’s own power,” SunStone said in a news release. “There have not been any injuries to any person onboard, no pollution of the environment, and no breach of the hull.”
The company added, “The vessel and its passengers will now be positioned to a port where the vessel’s bottom damages can be assessed, and the passengers will be taken to a port from which they can be flown back home.”

What hell does covid and a ship grounding have to do with each other??
These liberal propagandists look like the retards they are reaching for such a connection between anything and covid.
Pretty sure just about every cruise since 2020 has had multiple cases of COVID. This headline is irrelevant and moronic.
Time to short cruise 🚢 stocks??
Did they make the obligatory reference to global warming?
The PCR test just will not go away, even after being denounced by the WHO & CDC.
That has to be the all-time best non sequitur.
LOL
My thought too
Whats this about the Wu Hu Flu or the ship getting stuck ???
Quarantine them either to their cabins or sick bay. And what does that have to do with bad seamanship on the part of the bridge crew?
who knew that covid could cause a cruise ship to get stuck in the mud!
“Did they make the obligatory reference to global warming?”
They didn’t, so that makes this a very poorly written article, not researched at all!
“Its next voyage, a 12-day trip set to depart Oct. 30 from Argentina to Antarctica, costs $13,395 per passenger.”
I hope the stuckees are gonna get some $$$ back if the price for this trip is anywhere near the price of the next trip.
That covid is some powerful stuff! It caused a ship to get stuck in the mud!
A look inside the new luxury cruise ship christened in Boston this week (2021)
Much more reasonable size than most cruise ships these days.
Cruise ship? Covid? Have we heard this before?
That is one crafty virus!
Are they still using the discredited PCR swabs?
Covid, schmovid.

The Spike Protien stuck it to the sea floor.
The water evaporated due to global warming and the ship ended up stuck in the mud due to low water.....
