Carnival Cruise Ship Rescues Four People and Three Dogs From Disabled Boat
- On May 21, 2025, the Sydney-based cruise ship Carnival Splendor rescued four people and three dogs from a disabled catamaran stranded in rough waters near New Caledonia in the South Pacific.
- The catamaran experienced engine failure and a broken mast amid rough seas south of New Caledonia, leading the crew to send out an emergency signal around midnight, which was received by the rescue authorities based in Noumea.
- Carnival Splendor, carrying roughly 3,300 passengers on an eight-night voyage departing May 19 to destinations including Vanuatu and New Caledonia, changed course and reached the disabled vessel about five hours later to carry out the rescue.
- A Carnival spokesperson emphasized their commitment to assisting in emergencies and confirmed that the rescued couples and their dogs were provided with food, water, medical attention, and a place to rest on board the ship.
- The rescued travelers, including two Australian bloggers, and their dogs are reported in good condition and will disembark in Noumea as Carnival Splendor continues its planned itinerary.
