From CTV: Passengers and crew members were forced to evacuate a cruise ship Saturday when large waves rocked the ship in Norway’s west coast.
Because of the severe conditions (strong wind gusts and rough waters) rescue teams with helicopters were sent for the evacuation of The Viking Sky.
Video footage showed the ship’s contents being tossed from one end to the other. Some windows broken in the storm allowed cold, stormy water to enter the ship.
Evacuations will continue into Sunday said Norwegian officials.
About 180 people have been evacuated so far.
