A cruise ship is at sea. It is off Norway. There are 1,300 passengers on the ship. The ship stops working. It cannot move.

The weather is bad. The wind blows fast. There are 8-metre waves. The ship moves from side to side. The people inside are in danger. Helicopters start moving the passengers from the ship to land. Some people go to hospital.

The ship starts to work again. It is moving slowly to a port.

Difficult words: cruise ship (a big ship which is like a hotel), off (at sea near land), port (a safe place for ships).
