VANCOUVER – Harbour Cruises says one passenger was injured after its “flagship” sightseeing vessel ran aground in the waters off West Vancouver on Sunday.
The cruise operator says there were 41 passengers on board, but the MV Harbour Princess did not take on water after running aground near Lighthouse Park, and one passenger suffered a minor injury but the vessel was not damaged.
Harbour Cruises says in a statement that the boat was able to return to Coal Harbour on its own, but was escorted by search and rescue boats.
The company says the vessel was built in 1994 and it’s being taken out of service for an inspection “out of an abundance of caution.”
It says the Transportation Safety Board will be investigating and the vessel is expected to be back in the water in seven to 10 days.
Company owner Graham Clarke says he extends his sympathies to affected passengers and thanked responders for their help, and the company says passengers on the voyage got their fares refunded.
