Disney Destiny Reveal – All the Details Including Some Surprises

Sharing is caring!

In the latest reveal of the Disney Destiny we can see just how much this new ship is going to break with some of the usual traditions of the previous ships.

The Disney Destiny will sail year-round from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida beginning in November 2025.

The ship will embark on an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, including visits to one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations – Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay.

Castaway Club members can secure an inaugural season spot as early as Sept. 6, 2024, and bookings go on sale to the general public on Sept. 12, 2024.

Marvel characters are going to feature heavily on this ship.

The inspiration for this central hub of the Disney Destiny will be themed around the vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films.

All Pictures Disney Concept Art

Every Disney cruise ship has a statue in this wide open space.

For this new ship there 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.

Just off the Grand Hall on decks four and five, you will be able to write your own vacation legends at Saga, a central hub for daytime family activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment.

The two-story, state-of-the-art venue will host a variety of interactive shows and events in an elevated environment also inspired by the architecture of Wakanda.

This is the equivalent of Luna on Disney Wish. This space is a little awkward in design as it is difficult to see the stage from the back of the upper level.

Stern characters are very important to all the Disney cruise ships.

I really didn’t see this one coming.

In what might be a controversial decision the stern character will feature a Marvel character.

This signature larger-than-life sculpture will showcase Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots, who are making a well-meant, if a bit haphazard, attempt at decorating the filigree on the back of the ship with their infamous spider webs.

Worlds of Marvel Restaurant

This one wasn’t so hard to predict, but if you are not a Marvel fan you were probably hoping for different news.

It has been confirmed that Disney Destiny will feature Worlds of Marvel as a rotational dining restaurant, just like it’s sister ships Disney Wish and the soon to be launched Disney Treasure.

This restaurant will host an out-of-this-world celebration starring the lively duo of Rocket and Groot from the blockbuster Marvel Studios “Guardians of the Galaxy” films.

During a tribute to the many Super Heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who keep the world safe, Groot will take over the proceedings and bring the festivities to the next level, organizing the ultimate surprise party for his friend Rocket — just in time for dessert.

The story will unfold onscreen while you eat to the beat of an “awesome mix” of hit songs and test your knowledge of the Marvel Universe with trivia and activities for the whole family.

This is the second version of the Worlds of Marvel show, the concept of which was introduced a short time ago for Disney Treasure.

It has also been confirmed that there will be a 1923 restaurant on Disney Destiny, just like her sister ships.

I know that perhaps some people will be disappointed that there is only one original new restaurant on Disney Destiny, but this is the pattern will all the Disney ships and their sister ships.

The Sanctum

This will be the first Marvel Studios inspired bar on a Disney ship.

The theme will be the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange.”

Like all Sanctorums, this centrally located venue will contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world – but it will also be home to entertainment; a magical array or cocktails, spirits and coffees; and unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.

The Destiny Tower Suite – Tony Stark Approved

Ever wanted to live like Tony Stark? Well probably not, but anyway the new Disney Destiny Tower Suite is a design built with Iron Man in mind.

With over 2,000 square feet of space this suite which is located in the forward Funnel of Disney Destiny, is the most expensive accommodation on the ship.

Of course, with all that luxury, you also get access to all the Concierge perks including the Lounge and private sun deck.

In keeping with the Marvel theme, Disney Destiny Concierge Lounge will be outfitted with art that celebrates the Avengers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and will be inspired by the sophisticated styling of their Manhattan headquarters.

Entertainment on Disney Destiny

It might not be a surprise, but it is a bit disappointing that there won’t be any new Disney Broadway style production shows for Disney Destiny.

• Catch dazzling Broadway-style productions of “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular” and “Disney Seas the Adventure” in the Walt Disney Theatre. The former is a whimsical retelling of the iconic Disney Animation film, while the latter is an original Disney Cruise Line show featuring Captain Minnie Mouse, Goofy and a host of beloved Disney and Pixar characters.

• Dance the night away at Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party, a roguish nighttime spectacular featuring a live rock band and Disney Cruise Line’s famous fireworks at sea.

• Get in the middle of the action at Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena where your family can compete in “The Incredibles”-themed obstacle courses and free-play sports.

• Use your mobile device to join favorite Disney and Pixar heroes on virtual quests throughout the ship Disney Uncharted Adventure will be an interactive experience that uses your mobile device to.

• Watch first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and more at the Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas.

Adult Exclusive Ares on Disney Destiny

No surprises here. All the areas echo what is available already on Disney Wish and will soon be on Disney Treasure. No doubt there will be differences in the interior design, but the locations and concepts will be the same.

• A suite of premium dining venues will include Palo Steakhouse, combining authentic Italian dining with the refinement of a modern steakhouse; Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement, offering gourmet, French-inspired cuisine in a romantic and intimate setting; and The Rose, an idyllic setting for a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner cocktail.

• Senses Spa will provide a tranquil oasis offering indulgent spa and beauty treatments in private treatment rooms, lavish spa villas, and steam and aromatherapy rooms, while Senses Fitness will offer a state-of-the-art exercise and wellness facility.

• Untangled Salon will be a chic venue for high-end hairstyling and beauty services, and Hook’s Barbery will be a unique twist on a traditional men’s salon with a “hidden” bar.

Outdoor Areas on Disney Destiny

These will also be substantially the same as Disney Wish and Disney Treasure. There will no doubt be some design differences, but essentially they will be similar.

And yes, you will still have the controversial pool area for adults just like on Disney Wish.

• In an expansive district themed to Mickey and friends, you and your family will discover seven pools staggered among tiered decks, an abundance of luxe lounge chairs, an imaginative take on fast-casual fare with a festive character twist and the AquaMouse.

• Little cruisers will delight in a water wonderland themed to Pixar’s “Toy Story,” including a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide and smoothie bar.

• Adults will indulge in sun-drenched serenity at Quiet Cove, a peaceful refuge set away from the bustle of family activities that will feature a luxurious infinity pool, poolside bar and chic café.
