A Swiss cruise ship hit a bank of the Danube River near the village of Vojka nad Dunajom, in western Slovakia on Sunday. There were 150-160 people on board at the time of the accident, including 50 crew members. No one was injured and evacuation of passengers was not necessary either. According to Transport Minister Árpád Érsek, the ship's captain tested positive for alcohol in his blood. The ship did not suffer any serious damage and continued on its cruise to Budapest a couple of hours later, but with another captain at the helm. The cruise disrupted the right bank of the Danube River and its damage is estimated at between €50,000 and €60,000 Euro.
