Disney's New Cruise Ship Is Packed With Surprises-Like a Cruella Piano Bar, a 'Lion King' Restaurant, and Lots of Marvel

"But Destiny also introduces some new concepts: There's a Black Panther-inspired Great Hall, a Doctor Strange-themed lounge, and appearances from Loki and Spider-Man. A musical dining experience themed to "The Lion King"-featuring the film's iconic songs-and a bar inspired by "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" villain Cruella de Vil bring classic Disney animated movies to new venues."

"During a preview sailing in November 2025, T+L got a first-hand look at how Destiny leans into what Disney does best: entertainment. Interactive, character-led experiences throughout the ship give guests the chance to dive into Disney stories like never before. But in true choose-your-own-adventure style, guests can make their cruise as immersive as they want."

""The Disney Destiny is where heroes and villains come to life," says Jenny Weinbloom, vice president of live entertainment for Disney Signature Experiences, in an interview with Travel + Leisure."

Disney Destiny is the third ship in the Wish class and is purpose-built for family vacations with features for all ages. The ship includes state-of-the-art kids clubs and adults-only spaces themed after beloved Disney films and attractions. Familiar offerings such as the Haunted Mansion Parlor and the adults-exclusive dining at Enchanté return, while new concepts include a Black Panther-inspired Great Hall, a Doctor Strange-themed lounge, and appearances from Loki and Spider-Man. A Lion King musical dining experience and a Cruella de Vil–inspired bar extend classic animation into onboard venues. Interactive, character-led experiences allow guests to choose their level of immersion.
