Christening is a maritime tradition of blessing a ship to bring good luck to its crew and guests. It usually involves breaking a champagne bottle on the ship’s bow, along with speeches and performances. The show included a symbolic breaking of the bottle with drones while the ship’s godparents performed the blessing.

Disney Cast Members were named the godparents of the Disney Treasure. Godparents are another long-standing tradition, with previous Disney Cruise Line godparents including Patricia Disney (Disney Magic), Tinker Bell (Disney Wonder), Jennifer Hudson (Disney Dream), Mariah Carey (Disney Fantasy), and all Make-A-Wish children (Disney Wish).

The cruise ship is illuminated at night, with the words "Disney Treasure" formed by lights in the sky above it, celebrating its christening.

The christening was live-streamed on the Disney Parks Blog at 8 p.m. ET on November 19. Watch the video on demand below.

The Disney Treasure arrived at Port Canaveral earlier this month before going to New York for the christening. The Florida port will be its new home, with the maiden voyage leaving on December 21. The Treasure left the Meyer Werft shipyard where it was constructed in September and completed trials in the North Sea before Disney officially took ownership of the vessel at a delivery ceremony in the Netherlands.

The Disney Treasure has the same layout as the Disney Wish and is considered a Wish-class ship. Disney Cruise Line is planning seven more ships set to join the fleet by 2031, including the Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure. The Treasure’s brand-new offerings include the first Haunted Mansion Parlor, the “Tale of Moana” stage show, the Plaza de Coco restaurant, and an “Aladdin”-inspired Grand Hall.
