The Treasure hasn’t even gone on its maiden voyage yet.
A Disney Cruise Line spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News that the Treasure was heading from the Netherlands to its new home in Port Canaveral, Florida, when it diverted to the catamaran at about 11:40 a.m. It arrived at 1 p.m. and rescued the four people onboard.Â
“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,” Disney Treasure Captain Marco Nogara said in the statement.
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.
