A family vacation on Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream took a frightening turn when a father reportedly leaped into the sea to rescue his daughter after she went overboard.

Thanks to the response from the ship’s crew, both were rescued within minutes.

The incident on June 29 happened as the Disney Dream was returning to Fort Lauderdale after a four-night Bahamian journey, which included a stop at Disney’s new private location, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, a Disney Cruise Line spokesperson confirmed the successful rescue:

“The Crew aboard the Disney Dream quickly rescued two guests from the water. We applaud our Crew Members for their outstanding skills and rapid actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes.”

Dewayne Smith, another passenger, wrote that “Man Over Board” rang across the loudspeaker as rescue teams sprang into action.

“Lots of praying folks on this ship! Both the little girl and dad were both successfully rescued!” he wrote.

The rescue team launched life rings and deployed a rescue boat. There were no injuries reported in the incident.

“We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols,” a Disney Cruise line spokesperson said.

The spokesperson did not confirm how the guests ended up in the water. Their ages were also not immediately released.
