Like Loki, the next Disney Cruise Line ship is destined for a glorious purpose. When the Disney Destiny sets sail, this heroes and villains-inspired ship will debut new ways for families to interact with famed characters and stories from the Marvel Universe through all-new spaces and experiences.
Embracing Dynamic Duality
A voyage aboard the Disney Destiny will embrace the dynamic duality of every great Disney story, where opposing forces of light and dark drive characters to rise to their destinies. Themed venues and entertainment aboard the ship will be inspired by a diverse range of Marvel characters, including:
- Grand Hall: Inspired by the rich lore, distinctive iconography, and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films.
- Entertainment Parlor: This centrally located venue is inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange.”
- Tower Suite: Honouring the legacy of Iron Man with luxurious, sleek, and industrial designs.
A Marvel-Inspired Experience
“The heroes and villains’ theme of the Disney Destiny provides the perfect platform for us to collaborate with Disney Cruise Line on all-new, Marvel-inspired experiences guests won’t find anywhere else on land or at sea across the multiverse,” said Brian Crosby, executive, Marvel Experiences Development. “We’re honouring some of our classic heroes like Black Panther and Spider-Man on board, and we’re celebrating the larger-than-life personalities of the Avengers as inspiration for one-of-a-kind venues. This will be a must-do for all True Believers!”
Inaugural Season and Booking Details
The Disney Destiny will sail an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, beginning in November 2025. Bookings open to the general public on September 12, 2024. Additional details about Disney Destiny’s new offerings can be found on the Disney Parks Blog and disneycruise.com.
Living a Legend – Wakanda Forever
The Grand Hall of Disney Destiny will be its most striking and prominent gathering space. It is a mythical realm that welcomes guests to a world of epic dualities: heroes and villains, adventure and relaxation. Inspired by the rich lore, distinctive iconography, and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films, the Grand Hall will be Disney Cruise Line’s kingdom on the seas.
The Walt Disney Imagineering design team consulted with the costume team from the “Black Panther” movies, and those insights helped fashion the creative vision for this space. Metalwork on the pillars inspired by the banded armour and stacked jewellery found in Wakanda, along with a breathtaking light fixture inspired by Vibranium, will generate show-stopping effects that fill the room with life and colour. A stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther, will preside over the Grand Hall.
Supreme Location, Strange Libations
The Sanctum will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange.” This centrally located entertainment parlour will host various activities throughout the voyage and offer guests a magical array of cocktails, spirits, and coffees. Guests will discover unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.
Tony Stark-Approved Luxury
In true Iron Man style, the Destiny Tower Suite will take the Disney Destiny motif to new heights. This Marvel-inspired penthouse will honour Iron Man’s mighty legacy with a luxurious take on the sleek, industrial designs of Tony Stark. Set high in the ship’s forward funnel; this one-of-a-kind suite will offer incredible views of the top deck and beyond through an expansive two-story window. With nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, the Destiny Tower Suite will comfortably sleep eight guests and feature designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing, as well as other perks like a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.
It’s Time to Save the Galaxy (Again)
The Disney Destiny will also feature two guest-favourite experiences from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, inspired by the stories and characters of the Marvel Universe. Worlds of Marvel, Disney Cruise Line’s Marvel-themed dining experience, will host guests for an out-of-this-world celebration starring Rocket and Groot from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films. In Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids ages 3 to 10 will become the heroes of their ownepic Disney adventures at Marvel Superhero Academy. Young “recruits” are trained to be the next generation of superheroes at this high-tech Avengers headquarters.
A Ship Destined for Marvelous Adventures
The Disney Destiny will be approximately 144,000 gross tons and powered by liquefied natural gas. Its delivery is part of a multi-year Disney Cruise Line fleet expansion, including the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, the Disney Adventure, homeport in Singapore, and the recently announced agreement with Disney and Oriental Land.
Embark on a marvellous new adventure with Disney Destiny and experience the magic of the Marvel Universe like never before.
