Disney Cruise Line has announced that the honorary role of “godparent” for the Disney Treasure will be held by The Walt Disney Company cast, crew, imagineers and employees around the globe.
The prestigious honor is a heartfelt tribute to the more than 200,000 dreamers and doers who make every Disney entertainment, vacation, and at-home experience possible. Disney Cruise Line proudly celebrates the magic makers from around the world who have created lifelong Disney memories for generations of families.
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 godparents of the Disney Wish, sister ship of 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
The Disney Treasure, inspired by the theme of adventure, will feature new and signature Disney Cruise Line experiences, immersed 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.
The Disney Treasure is part of a multi-year expansion of the Disney Cruise Line fleet, which currently boasts six ships with seven more on the way by 2031. Disney’s Cruise Line’s role as an ambassador of Disney storytelling brings beloved entertainment and characters to families across the globe.
Glad that Disney has chosen to honor their employees as “godparents” for the Disney Treasure?
