Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager at Disney Cruise Line, announced through a post on LinkedIn that she will be retiring.
In the post, Siskie said: “After 31 wonderful years with Disney, I’m excited to share that I will retire at the end of January 2026.”

She also called out the cast and crew members, attesting to their talent.
“Together, we’ve created magic that has touched millions of beloved guests. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to build friendships that span the globe, from our wonderful homeports in Port Canaveral and Port Everglades, to the ports we frequent in San Diego and Galveston and our beautiful cruise destinations across the Bahamas and Caribbean, Alaska and Europe,” Siskie said.
“Equally rewarding are the relationships I’ve built with regional partners in Singapore, Tokyo and London, along with the incredible teams at Meyer Werft and, of course, our fabulous travel trade partners around the world. These connections remind me that Disney magic knows no borders,” added Siskie.
She said in her post that Disney, which is more than a company, is a source of joy, creativity and innovation.
“Being part of that mission has truly been the honor of a lifetime. To my colleagues, partners and leaders: Thank you for your unwavering support and collaboration. You’ve made this adventure unforgettable,” she added.
