Carnival Splendor’s team has rescued four people and three dogs stranded aboard a disabled catamaran in the South Pacific on Thursday morning.
Carnival Splendor was sailing south of New Caledonia when the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Noumea informed them of the catamaran’s distress call.
The Carnival Cruise Line ship immediately headed towards the location and was able to reach the vessel five hours later to complete the rescue.
The two couples and their three dogs were safely welcomed onto Carnival Splendor and are receiving food, water and medical assistance.
Carnival Splendor left Sydney on Monday on an 8-day round trip cruise to Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
3,300 guests will visit Mystery Island tomorrow and Noumea on Saturday, as scheduled, returning to Sydney on Tuesday.
