On Monday morning, the Sapphire Princess was requested by the US Coast Guard to assist the disabled Wilderness Discoverer in the vicinity, which had been disabled by an engine room fire as it was en route to Glacier Bay, Alaska.

Sapphire Princess reported that there were no injuries and that its crew was taking great care of passengers.

Our crew at Sapphire Princess was led by Captain Todd McBain and we would like to thank our colleagues at the Coast Guard for their assistance,” Princess said in a statement.
