A timely response by the Disney Treasure saves lives at sea, showcasing the crew's dedication.
The Disney Treasure was 80 miles away when it received a distress signal from the US Coast Guard, alerting them to the catamaran, named Serenity, which was taking on water after a hatch seal failure. Realizing they were the nearest vessel, the crew swiftly launched a rescue operation. Aboard the small catamaran, measuring just 15 meters in length, the passengers faced a dire situation, but the timely intervention of the Disney Treasure ensured their safety. Captain Marco Nogara remarked on the crew's effective training and teamwork in executing the rescue, reinforcing the cruise line's commitment to passenger safety. The Disney Treasure, measuring 340 meters, is currently en route from Europe to Florida, preparing for its inaugural sailing in December as the newest addition to Disney's cruise fleet. The incident serves as a vital reminder of the critical role of timely responses in emergencies at sea.
