AMAZING NEWS: The Disney Destiny glided into Florida today. The 144,000-ton vessel — the newest member of Disney’s growing fleet — is docking for the first time on U.S. shores!
A Hero’s Welcome
Unlike her sister ships, the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, the Destiny carries a bold new theme — “Heroes and Villains.” From Spider-Man’s commanding pose on the stern to the sleek, Wakanda-inspired statue inside the Grand Hall, every inch of the vessel celebrates the eternal balance between courage and temptation, light and shadow.
Inside the Ship: Where Fantasy Meets Innovation
Stepping aboard, guests are immediately immersed in a visual symphony of light, texture, and imagination. The Grand Hall’s golden arches shimmer with dynamic lighting that changes from sunrise hues to deep twilight purples, creating an atmosphere that shifts with the time of day.
Restaurants and lounges aboard the Destiny continue Disney’s tradition of turning meals into storytelling experiences. For example, “Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King” reimagines African flavors through theatrical dining.
This ship will also feature many more fun dining options such as Edna À La Mode Sweets, straight from The Incredibles’ fashion lab. Families will also find endless fun in the Hero Zone arena and youth clubs bursting with Disney storytelling, while adults can retreat to themed lounges like De Vil’s Piano Lounge or the mystical Sanctum for cocktails with a twist. With new stage shows, Marvel-inspired spaces, and imaginative design in every corridor, the Disney Destiny turns every moment at sea into an epic adventure between light and dark.
Powering a Cleaner Tomorrow
Behind the fantasy lies cutting-edge engineering. The Disney Destiny runs on liquefied natural gas (LNG), one of the cleanest marine fuels available today. The ship also employs advanced waste management and water recycling systems, aligning with Disney’s corporate goal of net-zero emissions by 2030.
Setting Sail for New Horizons
The Disney Destiny will embark on her maiden voyage on November 20, 2025, setting course for Disney’s exclusive Bahamian destinations — Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point — along with select Caribbean ports.
Four- and five-night itineraries from Fort Lauderdale are already selling quickly, appealing to families seeking a shorter, more accessible cruise option with the same high-touch Disney service.
A Docking Worth Remembering
As the ship make its way to Florida, it’s a reminder that this is the beginning of a legacy. This new cruise ship will create so many new memories for its passengers. For every passenger who will soon walk her decks, the Disney Destiny promises not just a voyage — but a story waiting to be lived.
