There’s something extra magical about starting your day, or taking a mid-afternoon pause, with the perfect drink while sailing the open sea. Aboard the Disney Destiny, that moment becomes a story all its own thanks to three uniquely themed cafés: Cove Café, Café Megara, and Café Merida. Each offers its own unique atmosphere, flavor profile, and touch of Disney storytelling, providing guests with three distinctly charming ways to sip, relax, and recharge. Whether you’re craving an adults-only escape, a quick pick-me-up between adventures, or a cozy nook inspired by the Scottish Highlands, the Destiny’s trio of cafés serves up more than just great beverages…they deliver a little magic.
Cove Café-Your Adults-Only Hideaway
Tucked away on the adults-only “quiet side” of the pool deck on Deck 13, Cove Café offers an inviting escape from the hustle of a family cruise. During the day, you can enjoy specialty coffees, teas, or other non-alcoholic drinks; by evening, it transforms into a cocktail lounge where you can sip wine or mixed drinks, perhaps with a light bite or treat. It’s a great spot for grown-ups seeking a calm, relaxing vibe — whether you’re easing into the morning with a smooth espresso or winding down after dinner under the stars.
Café Megara-Greco-Disco Coffee with Godly Vibes
Located on Deck 4 just off the Grand Hall, Café Megara is a walk-up café themed after the heroine of Hercules. Its décor brings a fun “Greco-disco” vibe — imagine statuesque art, Greek-style tile work, and lightning bolt-shaped accents that playfully nod to ancient mythology and modern flair. Guests can grab specialty coffees, teas, juices, or cocktails, and maybe a snack on the go.
If you want your caffeine fix while you’re ready to explore the ship, perhaps between shows, pool time, or wandering the decks, this cheerful, myth-inspired café is a delightful shortcut to a great drink.
Café Merida-Scottish Highlands Charm Meets Latte Art
Just one deck above Megara, on Deck 5, Café Merida offers a very different mood. The café draws inspiration from Brave and boasts a Celtic-influenced design, featuring rich teal tones, warm woods, and Art Nouveau-style lighting that evoke the rugged elegance of the Scottish Highlands, all with the comfort of a modern cruise-ship café.
Like Megara, Café Merida serves up specialty coffee drinks and other beverages throughout the day, making it a perfect choice for a quiet morning pick-me-up or a mid-afternoon rest as you plan your next adventure aboard the ship.
Which One Is Right for You?
- Prefer a serene, adults-only escape with cocktails and calm vibes? Cove Café is your go-to.
- Want something lively and fun between ship activities, with a mythic twist? Café Megara hits the spot.
- Craving a quiet, refined coffee break with a cozy, storybook atmosphere? Café Merida delivers.
All three cafés showcase the storytelling magic of Disney — they’re not just places to drink or snack; they’re little themed escapes where design, atmosphere, and a good beverage come together.
