The 694-passenger Azamara Quest, operated by Azamara Club Cruises, is running on generator power after an engine room fire March 30.

According to a statement from the line, which is a brand of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the fire was contained to the engine room and was quickly extinguished.

"There were no injuries of guests reported and the atmosphere aboard is calm," the statement said. "However, in an abundance of caution, the captain initially mustered all guests at their assembly stations. The ship is currently running on generator power until full power can be restored to the engine room."

The ship is sailing a 17-night cruise that departed Hong Kong on March 26, with calls at Manila, Philippines; Sandakan (Sabah), Malaysia; Palapo (Sulawesi), Benoa (Bali), Semarang and Komodo, Indonesia; and Singapore.

According to Azamara, the Quest is about 200 miles off the coast of Borneo.
