Exciting news for Disney fans and cruise enthusiasts alike! The highly anticipated Disney Destiny maiden voyage is set for November 20, 2025, and will open for bookings on September 12, 2024. This new addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet promises unforgettable experiences. Here’s everything you need to know to start planning your dream vacation.
Disney Destiny Maiden Voyage and Inaugural Season
The Disney Destiny will embark on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This special four-night cruise offers a unique opportunity to explore all that the ship has to offer while visiting both of Disney Cruise Line’s private island destinations in The Bahamas: Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Following the maiden voyage, the Disney Destiny will kick off its inaugural season with a series of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Each sailing will include a day at either Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay, with some itineraries featuring stops at both. Select cruises will also visit Nassau, Bahamas, or Cozumel, Mexico, adding even more options for sun-soaked adventures.
New Onboard Experiences
The Disney Destiny isn’t just about where it’s going, but what’s happening on board. One of the most exciting new features is Cask and Cannon, a pub inspired by Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” attractions. This pirate-themed lounge offers a cozy, treasure-filled setting where guests can swap tales of adventure while enjoying an extensive selection of rare, specialty, and vintage rums. The pub will also serve “bootlegged” brews straight from the barrel, and lucky guests might even discover a hidden treasure chest of exclusive drinks.
But that’s just the beginning. The Disney Destiny will debut several other first-of-their-kind experiences:
- Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King: A unique dining experience that brings the music of “The Lion King” to life.
- Disney Hercules: An all-new Broadway-style show that retells the classic Disney film in a fresh and exciting way.
- De Vil’s: A piano lounge inspired by the iconic Cruella de Vil, offering a stylish and wickedly fun atmosphere.
- Edna Á La Mode Sweets: A confectionary shop themed around “The Incredibles,” featuring delightful treats for all ages.
- The Sanctum: A Marvel-inspired lounge dedicated to the mystical world of Doctor Strange, featuring powerful artifacts and a magical ambiance.
In addition to these new venues, guests can look forward to hero-themed staterooms and suites, a villain-packed storyline aboard the AquaMouse water attraction, and tributes to Marvel superheroes like Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Iron Man.
