A four-year-old boy has been airlifted to hospital after nearly drowning on a Disney cruise.

The child, whose condition or name have not been released due to privacy reasons, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool on the cruise ship Fantasy on Saturday afternoon, reports the Daily Mail.

The ship was briefly docked at Port Canaveral at the time of the near drowning.

Disney staff gave him medical attention before the boy was airlifted to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando.

Disney told Fox Orlando that their ‘thoughts are with the family and they’re working to assist them at this time.’
