**Disney Cruise Ship Rescues Stranded Boaters Near Bermuda**

A Disney Cruise ship, Disney Treasure, made headlines this Sunday after rescuing four stranded boaters during its journey to Port Canaveral. The vessel was en route to Florida from the Netherlands when it received an alert about a distressed vessel near Bermuda around 11:40 a.m., according to a spokesperson from Disney Cruise Line.

Arriving at the scene by 1 p.m., the crew of Disney Treasure successfully rescued all four individuals. Captain Marco Nogara praised the crew's efforts, stating, "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, the second of three Triton class ships, boasts 1,256 staterooms and is set to embark on its maiden voyage on December 21. The seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral will mark a significant addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet, following the arrival of Disney Wish in 2022.

Port Canaveral is set for a bustling season with the arrival of other new vessels, including Princess Cruises' Caribbean Princess on November 27. As the newest addition to the port, Disney Treasure joins Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas, which currently holds the title of the largest cruise ship at Port Canaveral until the arrival of Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas next August.

The port's CEO, Captain John Murray, anticipates record-breaking cruise passenger numbers in the upcoming year. Over 7.5 million passengers cruised from Port Canaveral in the past year, and that number is expected to surpass 8 million next year. Local cruiser Debbie Huey of Merritt Island emphasized the attractiveness of the port's new options, stating her excitement about the variety now available to travelers.
