The Disney Treasure is almost set for its inaugural journey on December 21, and Disney Cruise Line fans have an exciting event to anticipate: the ship’s christening ceremony!
Celebrating the Disney Treasure Christening – A Maritime Tradition
Christening is a time-honored maritime tradition believed to bring good fortune to the ship, its crew, and all its future passengers. Before the Disney Treasure welcomes its first guests, Disney Cruise Line will host a special christening event, and you’re invited to watch it live!
Mark your calendar for the evening of November 19 and tune in to the Disney Parks Blog for a live stream of the ceremony. The event will feature unique moments, special guest appearances, and the very first official reveal of the ship!

It has also been announced that the godparents of the ship are the Walt Disney Company cast, crew Imagineers and employees.
This is the second time that Disney Cruise Line has broken with the tradition of having one person or a small number of people as godparents to their ships. Disney Wish has the Make a Wish foundation children as her godparents.
This is the announcement from Disney:
“Drum roll, please! Today, we revealed that the honorary role of godparent of the Disney Treasure will be held by The Walt Disney Company cast, crew, Imagineers and employees around the world! This is the first time in Disney Cruise Line history that the more than 200,000 magic-makers, who create meaningful lifelong Disney memories for families every day, are being recognized with this important role. We are proud to pay tribute to our incredible storytellers across the globe who continue to create and bring beloved Disney stories to life across the globe.
In a longstanding maritime tradition, the ship godparent bestows a special blessing that brings good fortune and safekeeping to the vessel, its crew, and the millions of families who will sail onboard for years to come. The Disney Treasure follows in the footsteps of its sister ship, the Disney Wish, which reimagined this honorary role in 2022 by naming all Make-A-Wish children – including past, present and future recipients – as godchildren”.
Disney Treasure is the sister ship to Disney Wish so will have the same basic structural design but she will feature lots of new exclusive spaces including Haunted Mansion Parlor and a new restaurant Plaza de Coco
