Disney Cruise Line announced that the honorary godparents for its newest ship, the Disney Treasure, will be held by The Walt Disney Company’s global cast, crew, Imagineers and employees.
This designation honors over 200,000 individuals who contribute to Disney’s experiences and create lasting memories for families worldwide, the company stated.
“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, chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company.
“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 line with maritime tradition, the godparent is meant to bring blessings and good fortune to a new ship and its travelers. Disney Cruise Line redefined this custom in 2022 by naming all Make-A-Wish children, past, present, and future, as godchildren of the Disney Wish, the Disney Treasure’s sister ship.
“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.”
