Viking Cruises faces class-action lawsuit after high-seas nightmare off Norway.
Viking Cruises is facing a class-action lawsuit from passengers after a harrowing evacuation in high seas in March.
A New Jersey couple, Axel and Lauren Freudmann, among those on board, filed a class-action lawsuit in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, individually and on behalf of other passengers, claiming that the cruise line"negligently sailed through notoriously perilous waters into the path of a bomb cyclone," despite severe weather warnings.
The ship's engines, which were"negligently maintained and/or were not adequately fit for such conditions," shut down in an area called Hustadvika,"which is known for its notoriously perilous waters dotted with jagged reefs and is considered one of the most dangerous parts of the Norwegian coastline," according to the lawsuit.
The passengers are seeking $10 million in damages from Viking Cruises, according to Winkleman. The cruise line did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment Thursday.
