Disney Cruise Line has announced 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 around the world.
The cruise line says this 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 is proud to celebrate the magic makers from across the globe who have created 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,” said Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, in a press release statement. “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.”
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,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences. “Because of this outstanding team, Disney creativity, storytelling and service continues to set the standards for the entertainment and hospitality industries around the world.”
Disney Treasure to Feature New & Signature Experiences
The Disney Treasure will feature both new and signature Disney Cruise Line experiences steeped in Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Disney Parks stories. These include a Broadway-style retelling of “Moana;” dining experiences inspired by Pixar’s “Coco” and Marvel Super Heroes; a Mickey Mouse-themed water attraction; fireworks at sea; kids’ clubs; and brand-new lounges inspired by the 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 DCL fleet, which currently includes six ships and seven more ships on the way by 2031.
