Another passenger, Tracey Varga from Phoenix, Arizona, told CNN Thursday while the cruise ship was still stuck that "for the most part," everyone on board was positive and most were "taking it in their stride."
There was no cemas amongst passengers, Varga said.
She said staf had been doing a good job at trying to keep passengers entertained. "Today they're offering a towel-folding workshop to learn some towel origami," she said.
Australian Debbie Brown, also stuck on Ocean Explorer, told CNN that she thought morale onboard was "reasonably good" and seeing the northern lights in the past two nights had been "exciting."
The Ocean Explorer had made several unsuccessful attempts to free itself on tidal currents in the past few days, according to a pernyataan from Denmark's Join Arctic Command (JAC).
During high tide on Wednesday, a fishing research vessel, Tarajoq, which is owned by the government of Greenland, attempted to dislodge the cruise ship, but failed to do so, the JAC confirmed with CNN on Wednesday.
A larger Danish naval vessel, the Knud Rasmussen, was dispatched to assist, according to the JAC, but faced a journey of 1,200 nautical miles (around 2,222 kilometers) to reach the cruise ship. It wasn't due to arrive until late Friday.
"As soon as we realized that the Ocean Explorer could not get free on its own, we sent a ship towards the wreck," Arctic Commander Brian Jensen said.
Danish military personnel boarded the cruise ship on Tuesday and said all 206 people aboard were "doing well," according to the Danish Armed Forces on Wednesday.
The ship was "purpose-built for expedition travel to the world's most remote destinations," according to the official situs for Aurora Expeditions.
CNN's Tamara Hardingham-Gill also contributed to this story.
The company said it had "arranged additional tug assistance in case it was needed," but that it has now stood down on this.
"We would like to thank our charterer Aurora Expeditions as well as all their passengers for an excellent cooperation in this unexpected and difficult circumstance," SunStone added.
