Disney is getting ready to launch its latest cruise ship, The Disney Treasure, next month. Currently, the ship is on its way from Eemshaven, Netherlands, to Port Canaveral, Florida, and has yet to make its maiden voyage. On the way to its new home in Florida, the ship encountered four people in danger in Bermuda.
A 50-foot catamaran called the Serenity started taking on water about 230 miles off the coast of Bermuda. The passengers messaged for help, and the Coast Guard broadcast the situation.
The Disney Treasure was about 80 miles away. They launched a small boat to rescue the four passengers. Thankfully all of them were recovered with no medical issues reported.
Disney Treasure Captain Marco Nogara told ABC News,
“We are pleased that the Disney Treasure was able to provide aid to the boat passengers in peril. Our crew members worked together on the rescue, skillfully demonstrating their training and commitment to safety.”
Here is a bit about the Disney Treasure.
Disney Cruise Line’s latest ship is a new Triton Class vessel that can hold up to 4,000 passengers and 1,555 crew members. Its cruising speed is 19.5 knots, but it can reach speeds of 23 knots.
The Disney Wish is also a Triton Class and the upcoming Disney Destiny will also be in this class.
The Disney Treasure has 1,246 staterooms, including 123 inside staterooms, 1,133 outside staterooms (877 verandah staterooms, and 170 oceanview staterooms.)
The Treasure is set to sail her maiden voyage on December 21, 2024. She will be housed at Port Canaveral, Florida, offering 7-night voyages to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
