(CNN) Rescuers have evacuated more than 400 people from a cruise ship, a day after the vessel was stranded in rough seas off Norway with 1,300 passengers and crew on board. The Viking Sky ship sent a distress signal Saturday due to engine problems in bad weather, Joint Rescue Centre for Southern Norway spokesman Per Fjeld said. Three of the ship's four engines were working again on Sunday and tug boats were trying to move the stricken ship slowly to shore. Passengers aboard the cruise ship say the vessel is being tossed about by wind and waves as they continue to await rescue. "They work in rotations because it is not possible to hoist people from two helicopters working at one time."
