Disney Cruise Line has revealed dazzling new details about the Disney Destiny, the fleet’s newest ship setting sail in 2025. With experiences that blend timeless Disney storytelling and bold, reimagined magic, the Disney Destiny invites guests on an unforgettable journey at sea – complete with jaw-dropping entertainment, immersive dining and unique character encounters.

Themed around the dynamic battle of good versus evil, the Disney Destiny will bring legendary Disney heroes and villains to life in unexpected ways – from deck to stage.

A Heroic Spectacle: “Disney Hercules – The Mythical Musical Adventure

Headlining the Destiny’s entertainment lineup is an all-new original production, “Disney Hercules – The Mythical Musical Adventure.” This stage show reimagines the iconic 1997 animated film for a new generation with electrifying musical numbers, larger-than-life puppetry, and stunning new visuals inside the Walt Disney Theatre.

The Grand Hall of the Disney Destiny will be its most striking and prominent gathering space, a mythical realm that welcomes guests into the rich lore, distinctive iconography and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films. Presiding over the Grand Hall will be a stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, devoted son and beloved brother sworn to protect his kingdom — and the Disney Destiny.

Audiences will experience a fresh story arc, new technology never before used on a Disney’s hip, and a brand new song – “Shooting Star” – originally written for the film but making its world debut onstage. With a mix of modern and mythic set design, couture-inspired costumes, and dramatic lighting, this show will be nothing short of godlike.

A Sinfully Stylish Nightspot: Cruella de Vil’s Piano Lounge

Aboard the Disney Destiny, not even the villains are left behind. Enter Cruella de Vil’s Piano Lounge, a bold, fashion-forward venue inspired by the iconic Disney villain herself. This sleek, high-style space combines 101 Dalmatians flair with vintage glamour and a slash of London cool – perfect for adults looking to sip, socialize and enjoy live piano performances with a wicked twist.
