World IN BRIEF : EGYPT : Disabled Liner Brought to Shore

From Times Wire Services

Tugboats brought a Cunard luxury liner safely to shore in the resort of Sharm el Sheik after a collision with a coral reef ended a round-the-world cruise for the ship and 527 mostly American passengers. The Royal Viking Sun voyage was the second failed Cunard cruise for about 120 of the passengers, who had been aboard the MV Sagafjord in February when an engine room fire set it adrift in the South China Sea. In London, Cunard spokesman William Spears said the rest of the cruise has been canceled.
