Ahoy, landlubbers! Arrrr ye ready to sail to yer destiny?
Bookings for the Disney Destiny will open Sep. 12, and today we’re sharing must-know dates and details about the ship’s maiden voyage and inaugural itineraries so you can start mapping out your own epic vacations!
The Disney Destiny will sail its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Nov. 20, 2025. Not only will this special four-night cruise be your first opportunity to experience all this ship has to offer, but it will also include stops at both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations in The Bahamas – Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point!
The maiden voyage will be followed by an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Every sailing will include a day of fun in the sun at either Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay — some itineraries will even visit both! — and select cruises will feature more sun-soaked relaxation and warm-weather adventure in Nassau, Bahamas, or Cozumel, Mexico. Stay tuned to disneycruise.com for dates and itinerary details before bookings open to the general public Sep. 12, 2024.
As we chart a new course to tropical destinations, what better way to celebrate than with a toast to Disney’s most legendary Caribbean seafarers? Drink up, me hearties — we’ve ‘liberated’ a first look just for ye!
Aboard the Disney Destiny, you will join the ranks of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” at Cask and Cannon, a new pub inspired by the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world! Here, you and your fellow buccaneers will regale one another with tales of your high seas adventures in an eclectic yet cozy lounge furnished with treasures “acquired” (AKA pillaged and pilfered) during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe.
An evening of revelry and recreation at Cask and Cannon wouldn’t be complete without an extensive menu of rare, specialty and vintage rums that would impress even the most seasoned swashbucklers. There will also be a not-so-secret selection of “bootlegged” brews developed specially for the venue and served straight from the barrel in true pirate style.
And rumor has it that the savviest treasure-hunters may even uncover a mysterious trove of looted libations served in an actual treasure chest! Sounds better than a bounty of golden doubloons, aye?
Cask and Cannon is just one of many brand-new experiences awaiting you aboard our new heroes and villains-inspired ship! The Disney Destiny will also debut:
- Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King, a first-of-its-kind dining experience celebrating the music of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Lion King”
- “Disney Hercules,” an all-new, Broadway-style show retelling the popular Disney Animation film
- De Vil’s, a wickedly chic piano lounge celebrating the one and only Cruella de Vil
- Edna Á La Mode Sweets, a one-of-a-kind confectionary inspired by Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Incredibles”
- The Sanctum, Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel’s Doctor Strange
- Plus, hero-worthy staterooms and suites featuring custom artwork of some of our most epic Disney stories; a new, villain-packed storyline aboard the AquaMouse water attraction; and iconic tributes to legendary Marvel Super Heroes like Black Panther, Spider-Man and Iron Man!
