The small expedition cruise ship Serenissima has been refloated after it had become lodged on sand and gravel in Oban Bay in Scotland at around 6.30pm on Monday, media reports say.

“None of the 61 passengers or 51 crew members were injured during the incident,” the Scottish television reports on its website. The vessel is on charter to Nopble Caledonia, the London based niche cruise company.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said there were no reports of injuries, and no reports of pollution or of water entering the ship. Strong winds hampered initial attempts by the crew and the Oban RNLI lifeboat team to rescue the vessel, but it was eventually re-floated at about 1.10am. The Serenissima is now anchored in Oban Bay and will undergo a dive inspection later on Tuesday.
