BREAKING: Man Overboard Disney Wonder
A Melbourne man has gone overboard the Disney Wonder. See what we know.
Disney Emergencies

Disney vacations are a dream come true for many. Families anticipate making lasting memories with their loved ones, but what many do not anticipate is that emergencies often occur even while on a Disney vacation.
Thankfully, Disney offers emergency preparedness for many different scenarios to keep Cast Members, Guests, and crew aboard the Disney Cruise Lines safe.
We have shared a few accounts of guests evacuated off a Disney Cruise Line for a medical emergency, the Disney Treasure saving four aboard a sinking catamaran, a father and child being rescued after going overboard aboard the Disney Dream, and a report of a man overboard the Disney Wish in August that thankfully was a false alarm.
Man Overboard

News 7 shared that a man went overboard and lost at sea on the Disney Wonder sailing that was bound for Auckland. The Victoria Police stated that a 73-year-old man jumped overboard at 4:30 am on Saturday.
The Disney Wonder attempted to find the man by circling the waters and using thermal imaging cameras.
Unfortunately, the man could not be found. Authorities have reported that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
The Wonder is currently back on its route to New Zealand, and is now expected to arrive on Wednesday (one day late).
