When a boating family was stranded off the coast of Bermuda, the US Coast Guard – along with a not-yet-official Disney cruise ship – came to their rescue.
On board was a couple, their daughter and cousin.
The brand new Disney Treasure was about 148 kilometers away and responded to a Coast Guard broadcast request for help from the nearest ship, according to the AP.
The cruise ship received a call about a vessel in distress around 11:40 a.m. and arrived on board around 1 p.m., a Disney Cruise spokesperson told CNN. The ship launched a lifeboat and rescued all four passengers from the catamaran.
“Our crew members worked together on the rescue, skillfully demonstrating their training and commitment to safety.”
The cruise ship was sailing from Eemshaven, Netherlands, to Port Canaveral, Florida, where it will embark on its maiden voyage on December 21, according to Disney.
