A Viking cruise ship hit another vessel at the weekend, the cruise line confirmed on Monday.
The Viking Kvasir collided with a cargo ship due to heavy fog on Sunday morning, near Wesel, Germany.
The ship is 443-foot long and able to accommodate 190 passengers and 50 crew members, although Viking did not confirm how many people were onboard at the time.
Most of the passengers, who were cruising from Antwerp in Belgium to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, had been sleeping at the time of the crash.
“There were no significant injuries among guests or crew," a Viking spokesperson told USA today.
“The ship was cleared by authorities the evening of September 11 and has now continued its voyage without further delay."
The Independent has contacted Viking for further comment.
Shaken guests shared images online, following the crash. One Twitter user James Walker, posted photographs of the ship following the crash.
He wrote: “Don’t look under the cover! @VikingCruises covers up the damage to the Viking Kvasir #cruise ship on the Rhine this morning.”
Elsewhere, the CruiseMapper website, which tracks ships and reports on maritime accidents, said that the collision "resulted in minor hull damages (at the bow/forward, above the waterline), interior damages (broken windows, tablewares, glassware) and minor injuries sustained by two passengers and several crew members.
“The riverboat was cruising in limited visibility/heavy fog," it added.
This isn’t the first such incident to have happened to a Viking ship.
In video footage, the ship could be seen rocking dramatically, with debris falling from the ceiling and chairs crashing across the floor, as passengers waited to be airlifted to safety.
Meanwhile, in May Royal Caribbean’s ship The Harmony of the Seas crashed into a pier in Jamaica. Several bits of port infrastructure were damaged in the collision, including a pier structure which was crushed by the 227,000 tonne vessel
