Disney Cruise Line announced today that the honorary role of “godparent” for its new ship, the Disney Treasure, will be held by The Walt Disney Company cast, crew, Imagineers, and employees worldwide.
DCL says the profound statement serves as a heartfelt tribute to the over 200,000 dreamers and doers who make every Disney entertainment, vacation, and at-home experience a reality. Disney Cruise Line proudly honors the magic makers worldwide who have crafted meaningful, lifelong Disney memories for generations of families.
At the core of everything we do at Disney are the dedicated Cast Members and employees who create the magic that brings joy to millions of people around the globe. That’s why we are proud to honor all Disney employees as the godparents of the Disney Treasure. This is our way of paying tribute to the dreamers and doers who continue to tell our stories in the most compelling and innovative ways.
Bob Iger, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company
Fulfilling a longstanding maritime tradition, the time-honored role of a ship godparent symbolically bestows good fortune on the vessel and its travelers with a special blessing during the ship’s Christening ceremony. In 2022, Disney Cruise Line reimagined the tradition by naming all Make-A-Wish children — including past, present, and future recipients — as godchildren of the Disney Wish, sister ship to the Disney Treasure.
Every magical guest experience is the result of the collective effort of tens of thousands of Disney Cast Members, Crew Members, Imagineers and employees. Because of this outstanding team, Disney creativity, storytelling and service continues to set the standards for the entertainment and hospitality industries around the world.
Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences
Inspired by the theme of adventure, the Disney Treasure will feature both new and signature Disney Cruise Line experiences steeped in captivating Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Disney Parks stories. These include an original Broadway-style retelling of Moana; immersive dining experiences inspired by Pixar’s Coco and Marvel Super Heroes; a splashtacular Mickey Mouse-themed water attraction; signature fireworks at sea; imaginative clubs for kids of all ages; and brand-new lounges inspired by the beloved Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Disney Parks attractions.
