The Disney Destiny, sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, isn’t just a cruise—it’s an adventure where heroes, legends, and mischievous villains come to life. From dining experiences inspired by Disney classics to exclusive villain encounters, guests of all ages can embrace the magic and mischief that make Disney Cruise Line truly unforgettable.
board the Disney Destiny: Heroes, Legends, and Villains Unite
Onboard the Disney Destiny, guests can:
- Dine like royalty at Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King
- Travel to ancient Greece in the Walt Disney Theatre’s “Disney Hercules”
- Interact with Disney and Marvel villains in exclusive meet-and-play experiences
Many villain encounters on the Disney Destiny are exclusive to this ship, giving cruisers a rare chance to engage with their favorite villains in immersive ways that can’t be found anywhere else.
Loki: The God of Mischief Takes the Stage
One of the most thrilling villain experiences aboard the Disney Destiny is “The Legend of Loki.” Step into Norse mythology as the ship’s Grand Hall transforms into a villainous spectacle, complete with enchanted Nordic statues and storytelling magic.
Guests will:
- Discover the epic tales of Asgard’s gods
- See Loki’s mischievous influence over magical artifacts
- Watch as the God of Mischief attempts to claim the title of king of the Disney Destiny
No Disney Destiny sailing is complete without witnessing Loki’s playful chaos—and maybe even helping save the ship from his clever schemes.
Celebration of a King… Interrupted by Loki
The Grand Hall also hosts “Celebration of a King,” a beautiful tribute to King T’Challa of Wakanda. But when Loki crashes the festivities, declaring himself ruler and demanding guests kneel, the celebration takes a mischievous twist.
This storyline is a perfect example of the interactive, theatrical experiences that make Disney Destiny villain encounters so unique. Guests are not just spectators—they are part of the adventure.
Under Her Spell: A Maleficent Encounter
In Saga, the Disney Destiny’s entertainment lounge, the formidable enchantress Maleficent takes center stage in a truly immersive experience. She transforms the space to suit her whims—whether it becomes a glittering medieval throne room, a dark and eerie dungeon, or the shadowy depths of a foreboding forest.
Guests are invited to witness the full scope of her magical powers, but only the bravest may approach. Surrounded by lightning, fire, rain, and smoke, participants are drawn into her spellbinding lair for an unforgettable Maleficent encounter that combines spectacle, storytelling, and a touch of danger.
Stay Vigilant in Dr. Facilier’s Parlor
Step into the darker, playful world of Disney’s The Princess and the Frog with a visit to Dr. Facilier’s Parlor aboard the Disney Destiny. This isn’t your typical meet-and-greet—guests encounter the mischievous “Shadow Man,” a master of trickery, scams, and sleight of hand.
As you explore his makeshift parlor on the upper levels of the Grand Hall, you’ll need sharp eyes and quick thinking to keep up with his magical swindles. Will you spot the trick? Go ahead… pick a card and see if you have what it takes to outwit Dr. Facilier.
“If She Doesn’t Scare You…”: A Cruella de Vil Experience
Step into De Vil’s, the Disney Destiny’s one-of-a-kind piano lounge, where fashion icon and legendary villain Cruella de Vil takes center stage. Every detail of the lounge celebrates her bold, stylish persona, and guests are invited to join in her playful mischief with “Treblemaking with Cruella.” Help rework Roger Radcliffe’s classic tunes with lyrics that match her flair, and get ready to immerse yourself in the diva’s marvelous world.
Fashion-forward guests can also participate in “Wretched Runway: A Cruella Fashion Show,” showing off their most villainous, heroic, or Cruella-inspired couture (spots encouraged!). Be prepared for Cruella’s signature critiques as she judges the style and attitude of her willing participants.
But That’s Not All…
The villainous fun continues in the Grand Hall with a dark twist on the Disney Cruise Line “Kiss Goodnight.” Watch as the chandelier glows with a sinister enchantment and a surprise villain makes a dramatic appearance, delivering an unforgettable “Kiss Goodnightmares” to end the day with a wicked flourish.
