Disney Destiny Has Arrived

Disney Destiny

The Disney Destiny has arrived at Port Canaveral, Florida! Isn’t she gorgeous??

The Disney Destiny is the seventh and newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. She joins the sister ships of the Wish class, the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, both based in Florida right now.

Disney Destiny

The Disney Destiny just completed her 2-week journey to America on Sunday night, November 2, 2025, from the shipyard in Germany. She will spend a short time in Port Canaveral, probably doing some media and preview cruises, before sailing to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for her Inaugural Season. The Disney Destiny will sail on her Maiden Voyage on November 20, 2025!

Disney Destiny

The Disney Destiny will primarily sail 4-night and 5-night cruises, with a few 7-night cruises sprinkled in, from Fort Lauderdale to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Every sailing will contain a port day at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, or its newest private destination, Lookout Cay. Some sailings have port stops at both locations!

Disney Destiny Grand Hall

In a departure from the other ships, the theming will be based on Heroes and Villains and feature a very different style and color scheme. The Grand Hall takes inspiration from Black Panther for the Vibranium chandelier and armor metalwork, and will feature T’Challa as the main statue. Marvel theming will also be prominent in other areas of the ship, such as Spiderman being the stern character.

Lion King dinner show restaurant

Restaurants, lounges, and staterooms will be inspired by other heroes and villains, such as The Lion King (a new dinner show restaurant), Marvel, Dr. Strange, Cruella de Vil, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, Haunted Mansion, Iron Man, and more.

Hercules stage show

The stage shows will be Disney Seas the Adventure, Frozen—A Musical Spectacular, and, unique to the Disney Destiny ship, a new show based on Disney Hercules! This spectacular, mythical journey of good vs. evil remains true to the film’s essence, yet will present a fresh, modern take for a live theatre audience with pop and gospel musical influences.

Stay tuned for the livestream of the Disney Destiny Christening Ceremony next Monday night, November 10, 2025, at 6:30pm ET. The Disney Cruise Line Blog and social media channels will also reveal sneak peeks of the ship all day.

Destiny Christening Ceremony

The first set of Inaugural Sailings from November 2025 through May 2027 is on sale now!

If you are a Disney, Pixar, and Marvel fan, this is the ship for you. We can’t wait to check out this unique ship! If you want to chat more about Disney cruises or are interested in booking a cruise, please contact me.
