Roman Kemp teams up with Disney Cruise Line to encourage primary school teachers in Exeter to enter contest to win the ultimate school trip

Broadcaster Roman Kemp has teamed up with Disney Cruise Line to encourage primary school teachers in Exeter to enter an exciting contest aimed at UK-based primary school teachers*, offering them the chance to embark on The Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line.

This new initiative, open for entries now, will whisk one very special UK-based primary school teacher, along with their winning class of students – who will each get to bring up to three family or friends – away on an unforgettable journey aboard the Disney Dream, creating memories that will last a lifetime!

"I'm truly excited to be part of the Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line because it offers teachers the chance to reward not only themselves but also their students and families," said Roman Kemp, known for championing children’s education and well-being. "Teachers consistently go above and beyond, and they deserve a little something extra. This opportunity can certainly provide them with that."

Roman Kemp, who became an honorary supply teacher aboard the Disney Dream to launch the competition, donned a school blazer with a name badge as he shared his insights on how UK-based primary school teachers can enter to win the unforgettable prize for themselves and their class.

"The best advice I can offer to teachers who are entering their class into the contest is to embrace fun and imagination in their entry video. Ultimately, they have a whole classroom of individuals who can inspire them with ideas. So, it's essential to foster as much creativity as possible."

After gaining permission to enter the competition on behalf of the school, teachers are invited to create and upload a maximum 60-second video showing why the teacher and their class want to set sail on The Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line.

Entrants are advised to be as creative as possible in showing why they and their primary class want to set sail on The Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line. The winning teacher, along with their entire class and up to three guests each, will sail on the Disney Dream for a four-night UK sailing from 12th -16th August 2024.

The Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line will offer the winning teacher, class, and their guests the chance to experience all the Disney Cruise Line enchantment and wonder onboard, as well as the opportunity to learn from Disney professionals in a series of unique Disney lessons specially curated for the winners.

The Disney crew members from the imaginative spaces onboard the Disney Dream, including Disney-themed entertainment, science lessons, and hospitality, will provide valuable insights and experiences that extend beyond the traditional classroom setting. From behind-the-scenes glimpses into the magic storytelling of Disney to interactive learning activities, this once-in-a-lifetime trip promises to inspire and captivate young minds in unforgettable ways.

Speaking at the launch, Roman Kemp reflected on his own school experiences, saying: "I'm not sure if it's my absolute favourite memory from school, but one that's certainly unforgettable is when I portrayed the role of Alice in Alice in Wonderland. Yes, you heard it right. I played Alice, and to this day, it remains one of the most remarkable experiences at school."

"My school experience has definitely influenced my career in broadcasting," Roman added. "During my time in school, the teachers I met taught me the importance of conversation and the necessity of having my voice heard. This realisation has been significant for me."

Reflecting on memorable teachers from his childhood, Roman remarked: "I do recall certain teachers from my childhood, and one who stood out was my geography teacher, Mr. Turnbull. His charisma, energy, and enthusiasm left a lasting impression on me during my time in primary school."

But who would be in Roman’s dream team of teachers? "If I were to enlist celebrity colleagues as teachers," Roman pondered, "one standout choice would be Alan Carr. His way of making anything entertaining would surely liven up the classroom. And Jack Whitehall interacting with kids would be a hilarious experience, so he’d also be in my line-up."
