Earlier today, Dunlop shared that in 2025, he will officially join Disney Cruise Line.
No details yet about whether he will be in charge of one of the new cruise ships or continue to work out of the UK and manage the British season for Disney Fantasy.
The industry was excited and congratulated the captain on this update. Several cruise captains and senior officers posted their congratulations on social media.
Dunlop has been a fan favorite for a long time, thanks to his positive energy and cheerful disposition.
Dunlop shared the many changes that have occurred recently in his life and the excitement at what lies ahead, including moving into his new home and celebrating his new job. His positivity resonates as he talks about his colleagues and the guests he has met and how excited he is about what the future holds.
It goes without saying how much I will miss my colleagues (friends) onboard and ashore and of course the many Guests I’ve met over the years but I feel the time is right and can’t wait to join Disney in 2025! I wish everyone at CUK every continued success for the future, it really has been a blast and I’m SO excited for what the future holds with my new chum Mickey!
Congratulations Captain Wesley Dunlop, and what an exciting way to celebrate 2025!
