Disney Cruise Line has announced the appointment of Tracy Wilson as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Disney Cruise Line Operations, following the retirement of longtime leader Sharon Siskie.
Wilson has more than 30 years of experience across The Walt Disney Company and will oversee all operational aspects of Disney Cruise Line’s fleet and private island destinations.
“Tracy is an extraordinary leader whose passion for Disney storytelling and deep operational expertise make her uniquely suited to guide Disney Cruise Line into its next era,” said Joe Schott, president, Disney Signature Experiences, in a press release statement. “As our fleet expands and we bring even more magic to families around the world, Tracy’s visionary approach, strategic mindset and genuine care for our cast, crew and guests will continue to elevate the Disney difference at sea.”
In her most recent role, Wilson served as Senior Vice President, Finance, Disney Signature Experiences, where she led the strategic planning and negotiations that enabled the construction of five new Disney Cruise Line ships.
Throughout her Disney career, Wilson contributed to shaping experiences at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Paris, as well as the Disney Consumer Products division and Walt Disney Studios Global Theatrical Marketing and Distribution, where she helped to lead through the Lucasfilm and Marvel integrations.
Wilson’s extensive leadership experience will be instrumental as Disney Cruise Line continues its growth, including the upcoming launch of Disney Adventure, and ongoing plans to expand the fleet to 13 ships by 2031.
