Viking River Ship Runs Aground in Bulgaria
The Viking Ullur had to be evacuated after running aground on the Danube River on Tuesday, according to a report by Bulgarian News Agency (BTA).
Over 185 passengers and 50 crew members were onboard the vessel when it became stranded at river kilometer 817.
The news agency said that the incident is linked to low water levels on the river, which have been disrupting cruise and shipping operations across the region for the past few weeks.
