A Magical Beginning: Disney Destiny Sets Sail in 2025
Disney Cruise Line has always been known for its magical experiences, and in November 2025, it will introduce a brand-new ship to its fleet — the Disney Destiny. This spectacular vessel will bring an exciting heroes and villains theme, drawing inspiration from Disney classics, Marvel characters, Pixar stories, and even the most beloved attractions from the Disney Parks.
The Disney Destiny is a Wish-class cruise ship, joining the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, and will later be followed by another yet-to-be-named sister ship in 2027. Measuring 1,119 feet long with a gross tonnage of 144,000, the Destiny can welcome up to 4,000 passengers across 1,254 beautifully designed staterooms. From the moment guests step onboard, they’ll feel the perfect blend of modern cruising and Disney’s timeless storytelling.
