Carnival to the rescue

CARNIVAL Cruise Line’s Carnival Spirit and P&O Cruises’ Pacific Pearl sailed to the aid of a superyacht in distress 280 nautical miles north east of Sydney early this morning.

Carnival Cruise Line has confirmed that Carnival Spirit has since been released and is now on track to make its first scheduled port of call, the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia.

The two recused female crew members are in good health and will stay on board Carnival Spirit until the ship reaches her port in New Caledonia.
