The Disney Destiny is the new ship of Disney Cruise Line. Like its sister ships, you'll find on board several restaurants, great theater shows, swimming pools, kids' clubs and quiet places to relax. Everything feels familiar and inviting from the moment you step aboard. Anyone who has ever been to a Disney park will recognize the same quality and atmosphere, but at sea. Taken care of down to the last detail, super welcoming and full of Disney details.
What makes this ship different is its distinct hero and villain theme. You can see that in the décor, restaurants and entertainment designed specifically for this ship. As a result, the Disney Destiny feels fresh and surprising, even if you've taken a cruise with Disney Cruise Line before. It is a new chapter within the fleet, with many elements that you will only encounter on this ship.
The Disney Destiny has a Heroes and Villains theme that you see everywhere. The interior, restaurants and entertainment feature heroes and villains from Hercules, The Incredibles, Black Panther and Cruella, among others. The Grand Hall is the centerpiece of the ship and is dedicated to Marvel and classic Disney stories, with a striking statue of Black Panther, elegant staircases and gold details. On the outside, the ship seamlessly follows suit: Hero Minnie adorns the bow and on the back (stern) is attached Spider-Man with his Spider-Bots.
On board, you will meet a mix of characters such as Black Panther, Spider-Man, Megara and Hercules, Cruella de Vil, Loki and Maleficent. They appear in shows, public areas and during meetings with guests. Disney Destiny has a format similar to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, with multiple pools, theaters, themed restaurants and lounges.
The Disney Destiny departs from Fort Lauderdale and mainly sails itineraries of four or five nights. These itineraries go to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean, with a combination of sea days and stops on tropical islands.
Each itinerary includes at least one day on one of Disney's private islands in the Bahamas, Disney Lookout Cay or Disney Castaway Cay. Here you will find beautiful beaches, snorkeling spots, hiking trails, slides and an extensive lunch buffet. There are also meet and greets with Disney characters and separate areas for families and adults.
Depending on the chosen sailing, you then visit destinations such as Nassau, Cozumel or Grand Cayman. The length of the cruises makes it easy to combine them with a few days Orlando Or a visit to Walt Disney World.
