A Norwegian Cruise Ship lost its navigation ability in the North Sea on Thursday after a rogue wave smashed its control bridge windows.

Meanwhile, Danish Joint Rescue Coordination confirmed that no one was harmed and the passengers and crew members were safe.

The center added that water entered the ship after strong winds smashed the vessel's windows while it had sailed around 200 kilometers (about 124 miles) off Denmark's west coast and 330 kilometers (205 miles) off Britain's east coast from Florø, Norway on Thursday. It had been due to arrive in the UK’s Tilbury on Friday.

“Earlier this afternoon, December 21, MS Maud reported a temporary loss of power after encountering a rogue wave,” Hurtigruten, Norwegian coastal ferry service and cruise line, said in an emailed statement, per The Guardian.

“At this time, the ship has confirmed that no serious passenger or crew injuries have been sustained as a result of the incident and the condition of the ship remains stable,” they added.

According to multiple reports, rescue company Esvagt’s support vessels helped the ship navigate until it could be pulled to port. This occurred after the vessel was manually steered from the engine room.

Per NBC News, the ship is being aided to port by two civilian support vessels and is currently traveling to Bremerhaven, Germany.

“Following ongoing safety checks and technical assessments, given the weather conditions, we decided to amend the planned sailing route,” cruise company HX said in a statement on Friday, per NBC News. “Across the fleet, there are thorough operational protocols in place and we always prioritize the safety of those onboard.”

They also added that their team is arranging the travel for guests onboard to return home.
