Disney Cruise Line introduced its newest ship, the Disney Treasure, with a dazzling christening event on the Hudson River in New York City. The celebration featured a breathtaking drone light show, synchronized with Disney music, showcasing beloved stories like Aladdin, Moana, and Coco. Jordin Sparks added to the magic with a live performance of “Live the Adventure,” the ship’s official anthem.

Bob Iger, Disney CEO, honored the ship’s Cast Members as its official godparents, emphasizing their role in creating Disney magic worldwide. The ceremony concluded with a stunning drone display forming a 65-foot champagne bottle, culminating in a pyrotechnic grand finale and blessing for the ship.

The Disney Treasure, sister to the Disney Wish, blends Disney’s storytelling magic with adventure-themed experiences, including a Moana Broadway-style show, Coco-inspired dining, and new Haunted Mansion lounges. Guests can also enjoy fireworks at sea, water attractions, and imaginative kids’ clubs.

Setting sail on Dec. 21, the Disney Treasure begins its inaugural season with seven-night Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, Florida, marking the next step in Disney Cruise Line’s expansion to a 13-ship fleet by 2031.

Disneyland Paris is set to launch Disney Tales of Magic, an immersive nighttime spectacular starting January 10, 2025. This all-new show will blend iconic Disney and Pixar scenes with cutting-edge technology, transforming Main Street, U.S.A., into an extension of Sleeping Beauty Castle’s vibrant stage.

Featuring projections from Cinderella, Encanto, The Lion King, and Inside Out, guests will feel part of each story as they watch scenes unfold on the castle and along Main Street. The show incorporates 20 high-definition projectors, 60 advanced lights, lasers, drones forming 3D shapes, and a custom audio system to create an unforgettable sensory experience. The original score, recorded by a 100-piece orchestra at London’s Air Studios, features classics as well as Live in Magic, a new song by Noémie Legrand performed in both French and English.

This is Disneyland Paris’s fourth major nighttime show, continuing its tradition of groundbreaking evening entertainment. It captures the emotional themes of friendship, adventure, and family bonds through stunning scenes and cherished music.
