Disney Cruise Line has revealed new dates and details for the Disney Destiny, its latest ship, set to embark on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 20, 2025.

The four-night cruise will provide guests with a first look at the ship's features and include stops at both Disney Cruise Line's island destinations in The Bahamas—Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Following the maiden voyage, the Disney Destiny will continue with an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Each cruise will feature a day at either Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay. Some itineraries will include stops at both islands, while select cruises will offer additional destinations such as Nassau, Bahamas, and Cozumel, Mexico.

Bookings for the Disney Destiny will open to the general public on September 12, 2024, with early access available for Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members starting September 6, 2024.

The Disney Destiny will offer a variety of new experiences, including Cask and Cannon, a pirate-themed pub inspired by the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attractions at Disney Parks. This venue will feature an extensive menu of specialty and vintage rums, along with unique brews served straight from the barrel.

I think both are good choices, though I would give the edge to the music in Mulan, I’m excited for Hercules. I wonder if Mulan will be more prominent on the ships based in Asia? I like both— would prefer Tangled, but I’m sure Frozen is just the more popular franchise still. They really should put in Hygge from the original Broadway run— one of the catchiest Disney songs ever…but not super family friendly. I think this is my biggest complaint— it doesn’t make sense with the Heroes and Villains theme, even Hyperspace Lounge would be (slightly) better with its various planets and drinks themed to Sith. They could even add a Mandalorian element and cross promote their IP. 😛

My grandsons love Hercules

Its a real pity they went for hercules over mulan. The later is just a much better story and more awesome songs. and why frozen again? Its already on two other ships. They should of used Tangled as their repeat show since its only on one. also repeating the haunted mansion bar again seems lazy. They dont even know if people will like it yet plus it does not fit with heros and villans theme.

Details from Disney Cruise Line about entertainment on the Destiny: When the Disney Destiny sets sail in November 2025, it will bring spaces and experiences inspired by legendary Disney heroes and villains to the high seas. Onboard, one such tale of good vs. evil will come to life when everyone’s favorite Greek gladiator takes center stage in the Walt Disney Theatre in “Disney Hercules,” an all-new, Broadway-style show developed exclusively for the Disney Destiny. The high-energy show will be filled with the celebrated songs and larger-than-life characters from the Walt Disney Animation Studios movie, presented in an all-new way. “Disney Hercules” will stay true to the story and spirit of the film while showcasing a fresh, modern adaptation tailor-made for the stage. Like the film, the Muses will be the show’s storytellers, guiding guests through this mythical tale of good vs. evil. The show will include all the beloved songs featured in the film, along with the theatrical debut of “Shooting Star.” The new musical arrangements will emphasize the iconic soundtrack’s pop and gospel influences, drawing on the production team’s extensive and diversevexperience that ranges from theatre to pop music. Guests can expect show-stopping musical numbers, incredible vocals, stunning visuals and immersive projection effects. “Disney Hercules” will be one of three stage shows coming to the Disney Destiny, along with fan- favorites “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular” and “Disney Seas the Adventure,” which features Disney and Pixar characters and signature Disney songs.

It is separated by the glass wall from the chaos (which usually isn’t that bad) in the grand hall. I haven’t spent too much time there on Wish because I am partial to Hyperspace Lounge. I am moderately prone to motion sickness so, while we love the piano bars on the small ships, I can’t spend much time there in rocky seas and prefer mid-ship locations.

I'm definitely used to Keys and the Cadillac Lounge 👍

Watching a documentary on the Magic 2013 dry dock and it is interesting to see how different things are from today. Almost none of the imagineers are still with the company.

Not sure if you have been on the Wish but the bar in this placement is really unfortunate, it has windows into the Grand Hall which is noisy, I believe this is because (compared to the Classic ships) it is the entrance to the kids clubs so you get some overspill that the hall becomes a bit of a space for kids to run around before or after they go there so you are having your drink to the screams of children in the background. At one point I was having my drink as I child was licking the window... lol The piano bars on the classic ships have a far better atmosphere.

I'm very excited for De Vil's. I love a good piano bar.
