Disney Cruise Line is embarking on three days of epic announcements revealing the Disney Destiny, their new heroes and villains-inspired ship that will set sail in late 2025 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Day 3: Marvel-ous New Experiences and Returning Guest-Favorites
Like Loki, the Disney Destiny is destined for a glorious purpose.
Guests can interact with the legendary Marvel Universe aboard Disney's new heroes and villains-themed ship. The Disney Destiny will be home to new spaces and experiences inspired by Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Tony Stark and the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers.
Returning guest-favorite venues, entertainment and recreation from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure will also be featured aboard this ship!
Living a Legend – Wakanda Forever
The Grand Hall of the Disney Destiny will be its most striking and prominent gathering space, welcoming guests to a world of epic dualities: heroes and villains, adventure and relaxation. Inspired by the rich lore, distinctive style and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films, the Grand Hall will be Disney Cruise Line’s kingdom on the seas.
Presiding over the Grand Hall will be a stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, devoted son and beloved brother sworn to protect his kingdom — and the Disney Destiny.
Just off the Grand Hall on decks four and five, guests will be able to write their own vacation legends at Saga, a central hub for daytime family activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment. The two-story, state-of-the-art venue will host a variety of interactive shows and events in an elevated environment also inspired by the architecture of Wakanda.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Ship Decorator?
For the first time in Disney Cruise Line history, a Marvel Super Hero will be the signature stern character on the Disney Destiny. This signature larger-than-life sculpture will showcase Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots, who are making a well-meant, if a bit haphazard, attempt at decorating the filigree on the back of the ship with their infamous spider webs.
Supreme Location, Strange Libations
The Sanctum will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange.” Like all Sanctums, this centrally located venue will contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world – but it will also be home to entertainment; a magical array or cocktails, spirits and coffees; and unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.
Tony Stark-Approved Luxury
In true Iron Man style, the Destiny Tower Suite will take the heroes and villains motif to new heights — literally. This Marvel-inspired penthouse will honor Iron Man with a luxurious take on the sleek, industrial designs of Tony Stark. Set high in the ship’s forward funnel, this one-of-a-kind suite will offer incredible views of the top deck and beyond through an expansive two-story window and nearly 2,000 square feet of living space.
The Destiny Tower Suite and all concierge-level accommodations will receive a premium level of dedicated service and access to exclusive areas and amenities, including the Concierge Lounge and private sun deck. On the Disney Destiny, the lounge will be outfitted with art that celebrates the Avengers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and will be inspired by the sophisticated styling of their Manhattan headquarters. This hero-worthy retreat will be the perfect place to relax, sip a cocktail, and enjoy complimentary food and beverages throughout the day.
It's Time to Save the Galaxy (Again)
The Disney Destiny will also feature two guest-favorite experiences from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure that are inspired by the Marvel Universe.
Worlds of Marvel, Disney Cruise Line’s Marvel-themed dining experience, will host an out-of-this-world celebration starring the lively duo of Rocket and Groot from the blockbuster Marvel Studios “Guardians of the Galaxy” films. During a tribute to the many Super Heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who keep the world safe, Groot will take over the proceedings and bring the festivities to the next level, organizing the ultimate surprise party for his friend Rocket — just in time for dessert. The story will unfold onscreen while guests eat to the beat of an “awesome mix” of hit songs and test their knowledge of the Marvel Universe with trivia and activities for the whole family.
In Disney's Oceaneer Club, kids ages 3 to 10 will become the heroes of their own epic Disney adventures at Marvel Super Hero Academy, a high-tech Avengers headquarters where young “recruits” are trained to be the next generation of Super Heroes alongside some of their favorite Avengers.
But Wait, There’s More!
In addition to all of the exciting new spaces and experiences coming to the Disney Destiny, many guest favorite venues and entertainment offerings from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure will also return. From enchanting entertainment to imaginative dining and spaces for everyone in the family, keep reading to find out more of what’s in store!
Epic Entertainment Bringing Disney Lore to Life
On every Disney Cruise Line ship, each deck is brimming with entertainment, and the Disney Destiny will be no different. On this ship, families family can:
Catch dazzling Broadway-style productions of “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular” and “Disney Seas the Adventure” in the Walt Disney Theatre. The former is a whimsical retelling of the iconic Disney Animation film, while the latter is an original Disney Cruise Line show featuring Captain Minnie Mouse, Goofy and a host of beloved Disney and Pixar characters.
Dance the night away at Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party, a roguish nighttime spectacular featuring a live rock band and Disney Cruise Line’s famous fireworks at sea.
Get in the middle of the action at Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena where families can compete in “The Incredibles”-themed obstacle courses and free-play sports.
Use a mobile device to join favorite Disney and Pixar heroes on virtual quests throughout the ship with Disney Uncharted Adventure.
Watch first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and more at the Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas.
Imaginative Family Dining
The Disney Destiny will continue Disney Cruise Line’s innovative family dining concept, where you experience one of three imaginative restaurants each night accompanied by a dedicated service team assigned to your family throughout the voyage, allowing you to truly ‘be our guest!’
In addition to the brand-new Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King and the return of Worlds of Marvel, your family will dine in style at 1923. Named for the founding year of The Walt Disney Company, 1923 will celebrate the legacy of Disney animation in an elegant setting imbued with classic Hollywood glamour. With more than 1,000 drawings, props and other tools of the animation trade on display, the artwork on the Disney Destiny will showcase tales of heroes and villains in “Hercules,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Big Hero 6,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” and more.
Adult-Exclusive Escapes
Whether looking for fine dining or to treat yourself, the Disney Destiny has a little something for every adult onboard.
A suite of premium dining venues will include Palo Steakhouse, combining authentic Italian dining with the refinement of a modern steakhouse; Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement, offering gourmet, French-inspired cuisine in a romantic and intimate setting; and The Rose, an idyllic setting for a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner cocktail.
Senses Spa will provide a tranquil oasis offering indulgent spa and beauty treatments in private treatment rooms, lavish spa villas, and steam and aromatherapy rooms, while Senses Fitness will offer a state-of-the-art exercise and wellness facility.
Untangled Salon will be a chic venue for high-end hairstyling and beauty services, and Hook’s Barbery will be a unique twist on a traditional men’s salon with a “hidden” bar.
Feats of Fun Under the Sun
Guests will be destined to ride, fly, chase the wind and touch the sky on the stunning upper decks of the Disney Destiny, where three distinctly themed districts will offer fun water features, quick and casual dining options, and plenty of space to relax and soak up the sun.
In an expansive district themed to Mickey and friends, you and your family will discover seven pools staggered among tiered decks, an abundance of luxe lounge chairs, an imaginative take on fast-casual fare with a festive character twist and the AquaMouse.
Little cruisers will delight in a water wonderland themed to Pixar’s “Toy Story,” including a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide and smoothie bar.
Adults will indulge in sun-drenched serenity at Quiet Cove, a peaceful refuge set away from the bustle of family activities that will feature a luxurious infinity pool, poolside bar and chic café.
‘Main Character Energy’ for Kids, Tweens and Teens
Aboard the Disney Destiny, kids will become the heroes of their own epic Disney adventures. Dedicated spaces for kids of all ages will offer imaginative programming facilitated with the care and expertise of Disney-trained counselors and special playtime with Disney friends.
Children ages 3 to 10 will enter the captivating worlds of favorite Disney stories at Disney’s Oceaneer Club, a wonderland of immersive spaces themed to Marvel Super Heroes, Disney princesses, Star Wars heroes, Disney Imagineers, and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.
It’s a Small World Nursery will offer babysitting services for little cruisers aged 6 months to 3 years in a whimsical environment inspired by the beloved Disney attraction.
At Edge, tweens ages 11 to 13 will have fun, make friends and play games in a bright, colorful hangout inspired by a New York City loft.
For guests ages 14 to 17, Vibe will be a trendy loft where teens can meet new friends, watch movies, play games and participate in group activities created just for them.
The Disney Destiny will sail year-round from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida beginning in November 2025. The ship will embark on an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, including visits to one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations – Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay.
And, best of all … your legend begins very soon! Castaway Club members can secure an inaugural season spot as early as Sept. 6, 2024, and bookings go on sale to the general public on Sept. 12, 2024.
Time to Embrace the Bold, Brilliant, Bad … and a Little Bit Mad!
The Disney Destiny is putting the “naughty” in “nautical notoriety” with spaces and experiences inspired by some of Disney’s most legendary schemers, scoundrels and specters.
With its “Heroes and Villains” theme, the Disney Destiny will embrace the dynamic duality of every great Disney story, and the opposing forces of light and dark that drive characters to rise to their destinies. After all, there wouldn’t be any beloved heroes without cunning villains to challenge them! Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters will inspire themed venues and entertainment across the ship, including brand-new lounges celebrating Cruella de Vil and the Pirates of the Caribbean!
DeVilish Delights
What’s black and white and red all over? If you think you may know the answer to this riddle, think again! On the Disney Destiny, guests can have a glamorous night on the town at De Vil’s piano lounge, a lavish affair fit for the bar’s namesake: the fabulously over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” and the acclaimed 2021 live action film.
Adorned in her signature color palette of red with accents of black and white, Cruella’s infamous flair for style and wickedly bold attitude will be reflected in the aesthetic of this adult-exclusive lounge. And while an eye-catching spotted piano will steal the show at the center of the space, in true Cruella fashion, this villainous icon will make cameos in some of the can’t-miss design details.
Located just off the Grand Hall, guests will be able to wind down in style at De Vil’s with a trendy martini, chic cocktail or glamorous glass of bubbly – an experience that is sure to be anything but “miserable, darling.”
Drink Up, Me Hearties, Yo Ho
At Cask and Cannon, join the ranks of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” for an evening of revelry, recreation and — of course — rum!
Inspired by the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world, this new pub will be an eclectic, yet cozy watering hole furnished with treasures “acquired” (read: pillaged and pilfered) during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe.
Here, guests and their fellow buccaneers will regale one another with tales of their high seas’ adventures; cheer and jeer during live televised sporting events; and indulge in an extensive menu of rare, specialty and vintage rums and a selection of “bootlegged” brews developed specially for the venue and served – in true pirate style – straight from the barrel. What say you?!
We Dare Not Stop or Waste a Drop
The AquaMouse, Disney Cruise Line’s signature attraction at sea, will return to the Disney Destiny with a brand-new storyline, “Sing a Silly Song,” filled with encounters with famed Disney villains. Before they complete the 760-foot-long water ride towering above the upper decks, guests will join Mickey and Minnie Mouse on a seemingly ominous trek to the peak of Villain Mountain. But what do you do when faced with some of the most fearsome Disney Animation villains? Sing a silly song of course!
The result – with the help of some pixie dust – is that every chilling encounter turns into a wacky surprise. Families are sure to laugh and splash along as the Queen of Hearts (“Alice in Wonderland”), Scar (“The Lion King”), Chernabog (“Fantasia”) and others find themselves in the silliest of situations!
Be Prepared for the Chance of a Lifetime
Aboard the Disney Destiny, guests will encounter a fearsome crew of formidable foes throughout the ship — including Maleficent, Dr. Facilier, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and Oogie Boogie — and some of Disney’s most mischievous and misunderstood personalities – like Captain Jack Sparrow, Bruno and Loki. Families will have the chance to interact with these villains, rogues and mischief-makers during all-new events and activities, as well as some of their favorite Disney Cruise Line programs, from a frighteningly fun dance party in Oogie Boogie’s shipboard lair to interactive Disney trivia that often gets interrupted by a cast of Disney villains.
Happy Haunts Materialize
Foolish mortals will be welcomed to sip spirited craft cocktails among the 999 happy haunts of Disney Parks lore at the Haunted Mansion Parlor, a highly anticipated lounge that will first debut aboard the Disney Treasure this December.
At the Haunted Mansion Parlor, grim grinning guests will sample a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the story, while legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions around the world come out to socialize in mysterious ways (along with a few new seafaring arrivals).
Your Very Own Hero’s Journey
First up: A host of hero-worthy new spaces and experiences inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar films!
We are thrilled to announce that the Disney Destiny will debut a first-of-its-kind dining experience celebrating the unforgettable music of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Lion King;” an exclusive confectionary themed to Pixar Animation Studio’s “The Incredibles;” and legendary accommodations perfect for relaxing after a day of heroic feats.
The ‘Mane’ Event — A Feast for the Senses
The only thing better than dinner or a show is dinner AND a show! Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King will not only be just that, but it will also join the ranks as a first-of-its-kind Disney dining experience, bringing the iconic songs and legendary moments of the renowned animated classic to life for families throughout dinner.
Dine with live musicians and storytellers will present a musical journey through “The Lion King” soundtrack, using authentic African instruments and theatrical props to represent the story and characters. From productions of “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata,” to a one-of-a-kind mash-up of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Be Prepared, the show will be a musical retelling of Simba’s heroic journey to triumph over his villainous uncle and claim his rightful place as king of Pride Rock – and will undoubtedly be a memorable meal on the high seas!
Zazu said it best when he told Simba: “you can’t escape your destiny”… and we can’t wait for guests to discover theirs at Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King!
It’s a Sweet Shop, Darling (That’s a New Feature)
Edna Mode’s lab, where the famed fashion designer from Pixar’s “The Incredibles” films whips up outfits for the world’s most famous Supers, will be transformed into a unique confectionary at the brand-new Edna Á La Mode Sweets aboard the Disney Destiny.
Inspired by the “Auntie Edna” short film, Edna’s sewing equipment will be repurposed as sweet-making devices – and the result is, shall we say… marvelous?!
This dessert spot is sure to be a hit with families, with handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies and specialty treats served in a space full of bolts of fabric and costume models. And while she never looks back, guests might have to do a double-take of the picture-perfect sculptures of both Edna and Jack-Jack — one hard at work, one hungry for “num nums!”
Fuel for Heroic Feats
Just off the Grand Hall — the central hub and gathering space on the Disney Destiny — two casual walk-up cafes will serve a mighty selection of coffee, tea, specialty beverages and snacks. Guests can fuel up for heroic ventures onboard at Café Megara, a space that will pay homage to Disney Animation’s “Hercules” with a unique and vibrant “Greco disco” design, or at Café Merida, an area that will be inspired by the flame-haired heroine of Pixar’s “Brave” with its Celtic-centered design.
Hero-Worthy Retreats
A hero’s welcome will be waiting for guests aboard the Disney Destiny! Their stateroom will be their home-away-from-home on the high seas – a luxurious retreat where families can rest, reconnect and dream of far-off places.
Like every Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Destiny will offer spacious, comfortable and functional staterooms that uniquely meet the needs of families. Most staterooms will feature Disney Cruise Line’s signature split-bath concept, and many will offer the option of a connecting door between staterooms, making it easy to travel with extended family and friends.
Concierge guests aboard the Disney Destiny will receive a premium level of dedicated service and access to exclusive areas and amenities, including a concierge lounge and private sun deck. Among the concierge staterooms and suites will be four royal suites inspired by “Hercules” and “The Incredibles,” offering accommodations (and views!) of heroic proportions.
