Written by Shane Black | 31 July 2024 7:07:00 AM

Disney Cruise Line is set to launch its newest ship, Disney Destiny, in late 2025, with a dynamic theme inspired by some of Disney's most iconic heroes and villains. Setting sail from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Disney Destiny will offer guests a mix of enchanting and thrilling experiences, from villainous piano bars to swashbuckling pubs.

Villainous Delights on Board

De Vil's Piano Lounge

An evening at De Vil's piano lounge by Disney Cruise Line will be a lavish affair inspired by the over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil from "One Hundred and One Dalmatians." This adult-exclusive lounge will feature a Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic in red, black, and white. Guests can enjoy trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wines while listening to sultry tunes from the spotted piano. One side of the lounge will open to the Grand Hall, offering a prime view of the ship's premier gathering space.

Cask and Cannon Pub

Cask and Cannon will transport guests into the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean." This eclectic pub, filled with treasures "acquired" during pirates' voyages, will offer a cosy atmosphere for revelry and recreation. Guests can enjoy live televised sporting events and indulge in rare, specialty, and vintage rums, along with "bootlegged" brews served straight from the barrel.

AquaMouse Adventure

The Disney Destiny will feature a new storyline for AquaMouse, Disney Cruise Line's signature attraction. In "Sing a Silly Song," Mickey and Minnie will lead guests on a trek to the peak of Villain Mountain, facing Disney villains like the Queen of Hearts, Scar, and Chernabog. This 760-foot-long water ride will combine music, lighting, special effects, and splashes for an unforgettable adventure.

Heroic and Villainous Encounters

Disney Destiny will bring guests face-to-face with heroes and villains from across the Disney universe. Characters like Maleficent, Hades, Cruella de Vil, and Captain Hook will appear in shows, meet-and-greets, and special events. Guests can also enjoy exclusive interactions during new activities and events, such as Oogie Boogie's dance party and an interactive Disney trivia event featuring Disney villains.

Haunted Mansion Parlor

Foolish mortals will be welcomed to the Haunted Mansion Parlor, a venue inspired by Disney Parks' Haunted Mansion attractions. This first-class drawing room will blend humour with spooky storytelling, featuring characters from Haunted Mansion attractions worldwide. Guests can enjoy spirited craft cocktails and purchase exclusive haunted homewares and spooky souvenirs.

A Ship Destined for Greatness

The Disney Destiny will be approximately 144,000 gross tons and powered by liquefied natural gas. It joins a fleet that includes Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and the soon-to-be-launched Disney Adventure. With exciting new destinations and experiences on the horizon, Disney Destiny promises legendary vacations for all.
