Disney Wish Hosts LJM Maritime Academy Summer Camp for Fifth Year

Disney Cruise Line is committed to inspiring the next generation of seafarers while creating a lasting, positive impact in The Bahamas. For the fifth year, Disney Cruise Line has sponsored the LJM Maritime Academy summer camp and this year, over 40 campers, ages 10-13 years old, were invited aboard the Disney Wish for a special ship tour. During the tour, they learned about careers in the maritime industry and met with Bahamian Disney Cruise Line Third Officer, Breann Rahming and Disney Cruise Line First Officer, Warren Louis Corda.

The LJM Maritime Academy participants had the opportunity to learn basic nautical skills, survival skills and marine environment protection while getting an overview of the maritime business during the camp. Over the course of the two-week program, they also learned about the local and global maritime industry and gained a better understanding of career opportunities. In addition to supporting the summer camp, since 2019 Disney Cruise Line has sponsored scholarships for students aspiring to become ship captains and shipboard leaders with the goal of encouraging young people in The Bahamas to explore careers at sea.
