Brand new Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Treasure, rescues 4 from stranded catamaran off Bermuda
A Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Treasure, rescued four people from a catamaran that was taking on water some 265 miles off Bermuda Sunday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City.
The Coast Guard says it coordinated with the cruise ship, which was the closest vessel to the 50-foot catamaran, and the Treasure launched a life boat and got all four people off the Serenity.
The Treasure hasn’t even gone on its maiden voyage yet.
CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG-TV notes that the ship, which has 1,256 staterooms, is scheduled to embark on its first voyage, a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral, on Dec. 21.
