Thirty passengers have been evacuated from a cruise ship that ran aground on a reef in Fiji.
The MV Fiji Princess, operated by Blue Lagoon Cruises, ran aground on Saturday near Monuriki Island.
The Fiji-based tourism company says in a statement Monday that a preliminary investigation showed conditions were calm at the time of anchoring, but that a severe squall may have dragged the ship toward a reef.
Monuriki, the nearby island, was the scene of the 2000 movie “Cast Away” starring Tom Hanks.
