Disney said it selected its employees as a heartfelt tribute to the more than 200,000 dreamers and doers who make every Disney entertainment, vacation and at-home experience possible. DCL will celebrate the magic makers from across the globe who have created meaningful, lifelong Disney memories for generations of families at a special ceremony at the West Side piers in New York City on Nov. 19.
āAt 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,ā said Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. āThatās 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.ā
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 shipās Christening ceremony.
In 2022, DCL reimagined the tradition by naming all Make-A-Wish childrenāincluding past, present and future recipientsāas godchildren of the Disney Wish, sister ship to the Disney Treasure.
Inspired by the theme of adventure, Disney Treasure will feature both new and signature DCL experiences steeped in captivating Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Disney Parks stories. These include an original Broadway-style retelling of āMoanaā; immersive dining experiences inspired by Pixarās āCocoā and Marvel Super Heroes; a splashtacular Mickey Mouse-themed water attraction; signature fireworks at sea; imaginative clubs for kids of all ages; and new lounges inspired by the beloved Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion and ā20,000 Leagues Under the Seaā Disney Parks attractions.
Disney Treasure is part of a multi-year expansion of the DCL fleet, which currently includes six ships and seven more ships on order or being built by 2031. The period of growth strengthens DCLās role as an ambassador of Disney storytelling, bringing beloved entertainment and characters to families across the globe.

Disney Treasure Rescues People from Sinking Boat
Disney Treasure crew saves 4 people from sinking boat, 80 miles away
Disney Cruise Lineās newest cruise ship, Disney Treasure, rescued four people from a sinking boat near Bermuda.
On Sunday around 8:30 a.m., the U.S. Coast Guard said they received a call from a 50-foot catamaran, the Serenity, located 265 miles off the coast of Bermuda.
According to reports, the boat had become disabled due to a gasket failure in the escape hatch before taking on water.
The boat requested assistance, and the Coast Guard issued a broadcast.
The brand new Disney Treasure was on its first transatlantic sailing from Eemshaven, Netherlands, to its new home in Port Canaveral, Florida, when crew members received the call.
The Disney Treasure was the closest ship to the distress call, which was 80 miles away.

Disney Treasure is Officially Heading to Florida
Disney Treasure is on the way! She just left the shipyard in Germany and is on the way to Port Canaveral, Florida.
Yesterday, I watched as the Disney Treasure embarked on its transatlantic journey from Eemshaven, Netherlands, to its future home in Port Canaveral, Florida.
With over 4,500 miles separating the Disney Treasure from its destination, I know the trip will take about two weeks to complete.
She will make a quick stop - her first-ever port of call will be the beautiful city of Funchal, Portugal, where it will make a brief stop before continuing its way back out to sea.
I canāt wait to see the final preparations being made during this crossing to get the ship ready for its maiden voyage on December 21.
Disney Treasure will take over the Disney Fantasy routes of 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. These cruise itineraries are already available for booking. Learn more here. I have a special offer available right now as well!
