Disney Cruise Line has unveiled its newest ship, the Disney Destiny. The latest vessel in the fleet is uniquely inspired by Disney’s heroes and villains.
The new Triton class ship is sister to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure. The latter sets sail later this year.
The Disney Destiny reached a new construction milestone yesterday (20 March) with a keel laying ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
For the new ship, Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering were inspired by the “dynamic duality of every great Disney story, where opposing forces of light and dark drive characters to rise to their purpose”, Disney said in a press release.

During their voyage, guests will meet heroes and villains from films including The Lion King, Hercules and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
“The Disney Destiny will celebrate our most legendary Disney stories and characters, bringing them to life in new and exciting ways exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line.
“As we continue to expand our fleet, the Disney Destiny will further strengthen our position as a leader in family cruising as we offer even more ways for families to experience Disney magic and world-class service at sea.”
Disney has also unveiled new filigree artwork for the upcoming cruise ship‘s bow. The illustration depicts Minnie Mouse in heroic attire.
The Disney Destiny is scheduled for delivery in 2025 as part of a multi-year expansion of the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
This includes the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure ships, the Disney Adventure that will homeport in Singapore, and the new island destination in the Bahamas, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
As part of a $60 billion investment in its parks, experiences and products division, Disney is to spend $12bn on new cruise ships.
