A woman who fell ill Monday aboard the Carnival cruise ship more than 200 miles off the coast of Cape Cod had to be taken to the hospital.
The cruise line’s Legend ship was on the second day of a 14-day trip to Greenland when the crew called the Coast Guard for help around 6:30 p.m.
One passenger experienced abdominal pain and vomiting throughout the day, the USCG said in a statement.
The military deployed MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters to the 12-story ship, which is 180 nautical miles from the air station.
The Legend made a sharp left turn toward the easternmost tip of the cape to meet the aircrew closer to shore, Carnival map data showed.
After arriving shortly before 10:30 p.m., the aircrew “safely lifted the cruise ship’s patients and nurses,” the military said.
