Disney Cruise Line Welcomes Disney Treasure During ‘Christening Spectacular’ in New York City
Disney Cruise Line welcomed its new ship, Disney Treasure, during a waterfront christening celebration Tuesday evening in New York City.
In a stunning display of storytelling, the night sky above Disney Treasure sparkled with a larger-than-life drone show. The show depicted the icons of beloved Disney adventures, including “Aladdin,” “Haunted Mansion,” “Moana”, and “Coco.”
“For more than 100 years, Disney stories have filled the world with joy and wonder, capturing the hearts and imaginations of generations across every continent. And since the launch of the Disney Cruise Line in 1998, our ships have become brand ambassadors that bring our world-class storytelling and the immersive nature of our theme parks to new audiences in new places all over the world,” said Bob Iger, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, to kick off the celebration. “We also know that at the heart 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, and we are proud to honor our employees as the official godparents of the Disney Treasure.”
The Disney Treasure Christening Spectacular culminated in the drones forming a 65-foot-tall champagne bottle. As the bottle burst into a grand finale of bubbling pyrotechnics, voices from across The Walt Disney Company recited a traditional blessing to bestow good fortune on the vessel and its travelers.
“This is an unprecedented era of growth for Disney Experiences, and a dramatic period of expansion at Disney Cruise Line,” said Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences. “We are more than doubling our fleet to 13 ships by 2031 so that we can bring Disney cruise vacations to even more families across the globe. With the Disney Treasure, we continue to deliver an unparalleled family vacation at sea through the magic of Disney storytelling. The memories our guests create onboard this stunning ship will last a lifetime.”
