Disney Cruise Line is gearing up for the launch of its new heroes and villains-themed cruise ship, the Disney Destiny, in November 2025.

Keep reading to (re-)discover some of the guest-favorite returning experiences in store for the Disney Destiny!

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, you and your 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 your family can compete in “The Incredibles”-themed obstacle courses and free-play sports.

Join favorite Disney and Pixar heroes on a virtual quest throughout the ship while playing Disney Uncharted Adventure on your mobile device.

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 will experience one of three imaginative restaurants each night accompanied by a dedicated service team that will accompany your family throughout the voyage. In addition to the brand-new Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King, you’ll get to experience two guest-favorite restaurants from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure.

Worlds of Marvel, Disney Cruise Line’s Marvel-themed dining experience, will host you for 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 like only he can, organizing the ultimate surprise party for his friend Rocket — just in time for your dessert!

1923, named for the founding year of The Walt Disney Company, 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 of 1923 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

Aboard the Disney Destiny, adults will explore, relax, dine and play with venues, offerings and entertainment tailored just for them. Nearly every bar and lounge aboard the ship will feature brand-new designs and menus inspired by the larger-than-life personalities of epic Disney stories. (More details on these new experiences can be found here!) Returning guest-favorite adult escapes will include:

Palo Steakhouse will combine authentic Italian dining with the refinement of a modern steakhouse; Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement will offer gourmet, French-inspired cuisine in a romantic and intimate atmosphere; and The Rose will provide 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: Discover the Upper Decks

You are 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’ (Dedicated Spaces) for Kids, Tweens and Teens

Aboard the Disney Destiny, your children 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 is a legend in the making – and you can be part of its inaugural season! Bookings open for Castaway Club members as early as Sept. 6, 2024 and for the general public Sept. 12, 2024.
