Costa Allegra faces 2 more days under tow

Passengers aboard the stricken cruise ship in the Indian Ocean are facing another 2 days under tow.

The Costa Allegra has been drifting since a fire.

The vessel was scheduled to reach land tomorrow, but facilities on the island it was heading to are inadequate.

Captain Cosimo NiCastro from the Italian coastguard says the ship only has emergency power:

"There is no light for the passengers. This is not the best situation for them"
