A Princess cruise ship suffered a fire this week, leading to a muster station alert for passengers.

The fire was in a galley on Deck 12 but was extinguished by crew members and the emergency only lasted around one hour.

It is unclear what caused the fire.

It happened as Island Princess was sailing to Halifax, Nova Scotia from New York City.

It is on a 18-night cruise to Greenland.

The captain announced the all-clear after about one hour and the blaze didn’t seem to cause any power loss.

According to guests’ online posts, the captain assured guests were never in danger.

The ship made its scheduled port call in Nova Scotia.

Other planned port calls include Paamiut and Nuuk in Greenland.
