Following the christening, the ship will embark on its maiden voyage—a 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida—on December 21, 2024. This will kick off an inaugural season of 7-night itineraries to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean, offering Disney fans the chance to experience this brand-new vessel on an unforgettable adventure.
The christening of a ship is a tradition that dates back thousands of years, symbolizing good luck and safe travels for the vessel and its crew. Typically, the ceremony includes the breaking of a bottle of champagne against the ship’s hull, a practice that began around 1891. Superstitions surrounding ship christenings are still observed today, with certain days like Thursdays, Fridays, and New Year’s Eve often avoided to stave off bad luck. Fortunately, The Disney Treasure‘s christening falls on a Tuesday and Wednesday, perfectly in line with these age-old customs.
