The Disney Destiny is set to make its maiden voyage on November 20, 2025 from Fort Lauderdale and Disney Cruise Line has just revealed new details and information including a Lion King dining experience, a Hercules Broadway-style show, and two new lounges.

Heroes and Villains is the main theme of the Disney Destiny, and this is evident as soon as you step into the Grand Hall and are greeted by a one-of-a-kind statue of Black Panther. The Grand Hall will also feature 360-degree lighting effects that will, at times, take on the colors of some of our favorite characters to build the mood and immersion even more.

Shows and Entertainment

Debuting on the Disney Destiny is Disney Hercules which will bring the larger-than-life characters, spirited comedy and legendary music from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film to the stage.

In addition, guests will find Frozen, A Musical Spectacular. Relive the captivating adventure of Anna and Elsa as they encounter mythical trolls, a not-so-charming prince and everyone’s favorite summer-loving snowman Olaf. Rounding up the stage shows is Disney Seas the Adventure, starring Goofy and other beloved Disney and Pixar friends as they journey through uncharted waters.

Guests will also be able to enjoy shows and games inside of Saga, the central hub for "daytime family activities and adult exclusive evening entertainment." Saga's architecture is inspired by Wakanda, and will feature encounters with Maleficent, Match Your Mate, Family Time Game Show, a new Aquamouse story with villains, and more.

Lounges

Creuella de Vil will also take center stage with her very own lounge. De Vil’s, a stylish lounge that takes a cue from the over-the-top fashionista fiend from the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians. Nestled near the Grand Hall, this chic venue mirrors Cruella’s bold attitude and flair for the dramatic. Indulge in trendy martinis, old-fashioned cocktails or high-end bubblies while swaying to the sultry tunes of a black-and-white-spotted piano. 

The Villains don't get the only spotlight, however, as The Sanctum will take inspiration from Doctor Strange and some of his artifacts like the Cloak of Levitation and spell books from the library of Kamar-Taj.

The Disney Destiny will also feature two returning favorites: The Haunted Mansion Parlor and Cask and Cannon which is a Pirates of the Caribbean themed bar.

Lastly, the Disney Destiny will be the first Disney cruise ship to feature a Marvel character on its stern as Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots will grace the filigree on the back of the ship.

These are just a few examples of the heroes and villains that will be the stars of Disney Destiny, and they will join such others as Dr. Facilier, Maleficent, Hades, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Captain Jack Sparrow, Bruno, and more.

Dining

While the Disney Treasure had the incredible Plaza de Coco dining experience, the Disney Destiny is getting its own version inspired by The Lion King. The legendary songs and moments from this Disney classic will be just one part of a night to remember at Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King.

Storytells Mwongozo and Shaha will be taking us through the story of the great Simba, and other performers will help bring these moments to life with costumes, props, authentic African instruments, and more.

Other dining experiences on the Disney Destiny include Worlds of Marvel with Rocket and Groot, 1923, Palo Steakhouse, Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement, The Rose, the Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired Cask & Cannon, Cafe Megara, Cafe Merida, and more.

The Incredibles will also be getting there own themed sweets shop with Edna A La Mode Sweets, which will be the place to get handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies, and specialty treats.
