The US State Department said Saturday more than 120 Americans were on the luxury cruise ship that ran aground and keeled over off Italy, but none of them had been reported injured.
"We estimate that 126 US citizens were aboard the ship. We are working to get an exact count. At this point, we have no reports of injuries," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
The US embassy in Rome has set up a crisis response team to assist ship passengers, she added.

At least three people have been killed and 41 were still unaccounted for after the Costa Concordia -- with more than 4,000 people on board -- ran aground after leaving the Italian port of Civitavecchia near Rome on Friday.
The ship quickly listed, leaving it half submerged in shallow waters near the island of Giglio off Italy's west coast. The ship's captain and first officer have been arrested, according to local prosecutors.
