Disney Cruise Line Officially Welcomes New "Disney Wish" Ship During Christening Celebration

On June 29, 2022 Disney Cruise Line hosted an unforgettable celebration in Port Canaveral! The christening ceremony of the Disney Wish was filled with spectacular musical performances; special guests; characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar stories; and the Disney Wish godchildren.

During the ceremony, three Make-A-Wish ambassadors—Colby, 10; Megan, 16; and Jenna, 13—played a historic role, representing past, present and future Make-A-Wish children. Tony Award-winning entertainer Anika Noni Rose, the Disney Legend known for voicing Tiana in Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog,” also joined in the fun for a stirring performance of the beloved Disney Parks ballad “Wishes.”

This incredible event culminated with a symphony of pyrotechnics, special effects, music, and a rousing fanfare.

The Disney Wish is filled, bow to stern, with all-new storytelling, one-of-a-kind entertainment and innovative “firsts” that we can’t wait for all of you to experience.

From the first Disney attraction at sea, family dining adventures themed to “Frozen” and Marvel, and an immersive tour of the Star Wars galaxy - to original Broadway-style stage productions, imaginative clubs for kids of all ages, and an expanded collection of experiences exclusively for adults - there truly is something for every member of the family on the Disney Wish.
