Rescuers with the U.S. Coast Guard airlifted a passenger from a Carnival Cruise Line ship sailing off the coast of New Jersey.
Authorities responded to a distress call from Carnival Venezia a little after 10 p.m. Monday, according to NJ.com. A 73-year-old man had suffered a medical episode while the vessel was roughly 30 miles off Atlantic City.
The ship had departed from New York City earlier that same day and was headed toward the Eastern Caribbean.
A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter landed around 11:35 p.m. and transported the man to an Atlantic City hospital.
“Carnival Venezia’s team assisted in the medical evacuation of a guest in need of care on land overnight, following the ship’s Monday afternoon departure from New York,” according to a statement from Carnival Cruise Line.
“The transfer, via helicopter, was completed successfully near Atlantic City, N.J., and the ship resumed sailing with no impact to its nine-day Caribbean cruise itinerary.”
