SANTIAGO: Chile's navy rescued 120 people from a small cruise ship that ran aground Thursday near Puerto Montt in the south of the country, officials said.
Most of the 89 passengers aboard the Skorpio II were foreign tourists on a sight-seeing trip, the navy said.
It said the vessel ran aground shortly after leaving the port of Castro before dawn, but all aboard were evacuated without incident.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, the navy said.
