A cruise ship carrying 160 people on a return trip from Antarctica lost power in one of its engines Tuesday in rough weather, the Argentine navy said.
Crews were later able to fix the problem and the ship was sailing to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia in high seas with its passengers unharmed, it added in a statement.
One of the cruise ship's engines had broken down and caused what the navy termed as "serious... handling limitations," but causing no risks to its passengers and crew.
The vessel, described on the Polar Cruises website as a refurbished, ice-strengthened, all-suite luxury cruise ship, telephoned its emergency to a search and rescue coordination center in Ushuaia, 3,200 kilometers (1990 miles) south of Buenos Aires.
The engine failure occurred mid-day Tuesday about 845 kilometers (525 miles) south of Ushuaia in the Drake Passage, where the ship faced stormy conditions including winds of 90 kilometers (56 miles) per hour.
"There are no risks (to passengers or crew)," a navy official told AFP at the time.
The Clelia II set sail from Ushuaia on November 30 on a week-long cruise to the Antarctic continent.
