Commenting on this news, DCL Marketing Vice President Ken Potrock said, "While we intend to fully utilize the synergistic mar- keting power of The Walt Disney Company, we want to first educate agents who will be an important part of our distribution system, and provide them with the materi- als and support they need to cre- ate new vacation sales opportuni- ties when reservations open in late September." Following this cam- paign, which will for the first time define the image of the company's cruise product, DCL will begin travel trade advertising in October. Development of Disney's private, 1,000-acre Bahamian isle, newly named Castaway Cay, is also cur- rently underway, including pre- liminary work on the private dock which will allow for easy access to and from the ships. The cruise line has also appointed its second master, Capt. Hans Mateboer, former master of Holland America's Ryndam, Rotterdam, Statendam and Maasdam. He joins Capt. Tom Forberg, who is the master for Disney Magic. Both will be instru- mental in the launch of the first ship in early 1998, and following its inaugural season, Capt. Mateboer will assume responsi- bility for Disney Magic, as Capt. Forberg turns his focus to the second ship's launching. Capt. Mateboer has joined DCL's new- building team at Fincantieri's yards in Marghera and Ancona, Italy, to oversee the construction of the cruise ships.
