Disney has also unveiled the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar

Disney Cruise Line has announced the sail date and destinations for the Disney Destiny’s maiden voyage.

On 20 November 2025, the Destiny will depart from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a four-night cruise to both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations in the Bahamas – Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

The maiden voyage will be followed by a season of four-night and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and the western Caribbean.

The Destiny is themed to Disney’s heroes and villains, with new bars inspired by Cruella de Vil, the Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Disney Cruise Line has shared a first-look at the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar, called Cask and Cannon and based on the characters and scenes in the Disney parks attractions.

The drinking establishment will be furnished with pillaged and pilfered treasures, and guests will enjoy an extensive menu of rums, as well as bootlegged brews.

In addition to the bars, the Destiny will include a new dining experience inspired by The Lion King called ‘Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King’, as well as a new Broadway-style show based on Hercules.

The Disney Destiny also includes Café Megara and Café Merida. The former is themed to Hercules, and the latter to Brave.

Disney Cruise Line’s expansion

Other experiences on the Destiny include a sweet shop called Edna Á La Mode Sweets, and a new lounge inspired by Doctor Strange.

The Disney Destiny is part of a multi-year expansion of the Disney Cruise Line fleet. At this year’s D23 fan event, the company announced four new cruise ships.

Currently, there are five ships in the Disney fleet, with four others already being developed. The four additional ships teased at D23 will bring the fleet to a total of 13.

Bookings for the Disney Destiny open on 12 September.
