As anticipation builds for Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny, guests are in for a voyage unlike any other. This ship, inspired by Disney’s iconic heroes and villains, promises an array of immersive experiences that celebrate the most legendary schemers, scoundrels, and specters from across the Disney universe.
Onboard the Disney Destiny, the timeless struggle between good and evil takes center stage, echoing the dynamic tension that drives every great Disney story. The ship’s themed venues and entertainment draw inspiration from a diverse cast of characters from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel. Whether it’s relaxing in a lounge dedicated to Cruella de Vil or raising a glass in a Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired pub, every corner of the ship is designed to bring these beloved—and sometimes feared—characters to life.
Disney Cruise Line’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sharon Siskie, captured the essence of the Disney Destiny: “The Disney Destiny is all about celebrating the bold, charismatic, and driven characters at the heart of our favorite stories. And who are our beloved heroes without the antagonists who challenge them to prevail? We want our guests to have fun with the unique theme of this ship, and we are having a blast creating spaces and entertainment experiences that pay tribute to the villains, anti-heroes, and mischief-makers who have captivated Disney film and theme park audiences for generations.”
For an evening of elegance with a touch of wickedness, guests can step into De Vil’s, a piano lounge that embodies the lavish, over-the-top style of its namesake, Cruella de Vil.
Inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ One Hundred and One Dalmatians and the 2021 live-action film, this adult-exclusive lounge is a tribute to Cruella’s flair for fashion and her bold, unapologetic attitude. Adorned in her signature red, black, and white color palette, and featuring a sultry piano, guests can sip trendy martinis and chic cocktails while enjoying the sophisticated ambiance.
For those looking to embrace their inner buccaneer, Cask and Cannon offers a taste of pirate life inspired by the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This eclectic pub is filled with treasures “acquired” by the most infamous pirates during their adventures. With an extensive menu of specialty rums and “bootlegged” brews, guests can share tales of their own high-seas escapades while enjoying live sporting events and the cozy, treasure-laden surroundings.
Disney Cruise Line’s signature attraction at sea, AquaMouse, will take on a mischievous twist aboard the Disney Destiny. The new show, Sing a Silly Song, features Mickey and Minnie on a whimsical adventure up Villain Mountain.
As they encounter notorious villains like the Queen of Hearts, Scar, and Chernabog, the duo’s silly antics turn ominous situations into hilariously unexpected surprises. This family-friendly ride combines music, special effects, and splashes of fun for an unforgettable experience.
Throughout the Disney Destiny, both heroes and villains will come to life in a variety of shows, meet-and-greets, and special events. Whether it’s dancing the night away at Oogie Boogie’s lair or participating in a villain-themed trivia challenge, guests will have countless opportunities to interact with some of Disney’s most memorable characters.
Debuting first on the Disney Treasure and then aboard the Disney Destiny, the Haunted Mansion Parlor is a must-visit for fans of Disney’s classic attraction.
This bar, reminiscent of a first-class drawing room from the golden age of cruise liners, will feature ghostly cocktails and a new storyline centered on a ship captain. With its nostalgic art style and a custom musical arrangement inspired by the original Haunted Mansion score, this experience is sure to send shivers down your spine.

The Disney Destiny is the latest addition to Disney Cruise Line’s expanding fleet, joining the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and the upcoming Disney Adventure, which will homeport in Singapore.
