The creative teams at Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering are planning an assortment of new spaces and experiences inspired by some of Disney’s most legendary schemers, scoundrels and specters for the Disney Destiny. The new heroes and villains theme ship will set sail in late 2025 with some wickedly good fun spaces and experiences. Check out the details released today from Disney Cruise Line about the newest cruise ship coming to the Disney fleet of ships.
Wickedly Good Fun in Store at De Vil’s Piano Lounge on the Disney Destiny
The fabulously over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ One Hundred and One Dalmatians — and the 2021 live action film — inspires “De Vil’s”, an all-new, adult-exclusive piano lounge coming to the Disney Destiny.
Cruella’s infamous flair for style and wickedly bold attitude will be reflected in the bar’s Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic, where everything will be adorned in her signature color palette of red, black and white. There will even be a glowing, fiber optic Cruella that appears and disappears in the wall behind an eye-catching spotted piano! And with one side of the lounge open to the Grand Hall, guests will be able to sit back with a drink and a prime view of the ship’s premier gathering space.
Pirates of the Caribbean Themed Pub
A new pub inspired by the beloved Disney Parks “Pirates of the Caribbean” attractions around the world is coming to the Disney Destiny. The pub will be an eclectic, yet cozy watering hole furnished with treasures “acquired” during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe.
Here, you and your fellow buccaneers will regale one another with tales of your high seas’ adventures; cheer and jeer during live televised sporting events; and indulge in an extensive menu of rare, specialty and vintage rums and a selection of “bootlegged” brews developed specially for the venue and served – in true pirate style – straight from the barrel.
Haunted Mansion Parlor
You may have already heard about a “Haunted Mansion Parlor” that will debut aboard the Disney Treasure this December. Well, foolish mortals, this Disney Cruise Line exclusive experience will also be coming to the Disney Destiny.
At the “Haunted Mansion Parlor”, grim grinning guests will sample a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the story, while legendary characters from the “Haunted Mansion” attractions around the world come out to socialize in mysterious ways.
AquaMouse on the Disney Destiny
The AquaMouse, Disney Cruise Line’s signature attraction at sea, is coming to the Disney Destiny with a brand-new storyline, “Sing a Silly Song,” filled with encounters with famed Disney Villains. The 760-foot-long water ride will take guests on a trek with Mickey and Minnie Mouse to the peak of Villain Mountain. But when guests come face to face with some of Disney’s most notorious villains, they’ll need to sing a silly song that will result in a silly slide down the AquaMouse water slide aboard the cruise ship.
Disney Character Encounters
Disney Cruise Line announced some of the Disney characters that guests will encounter aboard the Disney Destiny. Disney Villains will include Maleficent, Dr. Facilier, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and Oogie Boogie. And, other Disney mischievous and misunderstood personalities that guests may encounter include Captain Jack Sparrow, Bruno and Loki. Guests will be able to interact with these characters during all-new events and activities aboard the Disney Destiny. There will be a fun dance party in Oogie Boogie’s shipboard lair and interactive Disney trivia that these Disney characters may make unexpected appearances at.
