On the third day of announcements from Disney Cruise Line about the new heroes and villains-themed cruise ship, it was announced that several Marvel-Inspired spaces will be coming to the Disney Destiny. These brand-new spaces and experiences will celebrate Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Spider-Man and other Marvel Universe characters.
Also announced was the first sail date for the Disney Destiny which will be November 2025. And, bookings for the the inaugural season of sailings will open to Castaway Club Members on September 6, 2024. The general public bookings will begin on September 12, 2024.
Check out the other details released today from Disney Cruise Line about the newest cruise ship coming to the Disney fleet.
A Black Panther Statue in The Grand Hall
The striking Grand Hall will be inspired by the rich lore, distinctive iconography and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther films. And presiding over the Grand Hall will be a stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, devoted son and beloved brother sworn to protect his kingdom. The Grand Hall will be the first thing guests see as they step aboard the Disney Destiny and are welcomed to a world of Disney heroes and villains.
The Sanctum
“The Sanctum” will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange. This centrally located venue will contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world. It will also be home to entertainment featuring a magical array or cocktails, spirits and coffees. Plus there will be unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.
Spider-Man Stern Character
For the first time in Disney Cruise Line history, a Marvel Super Hero will be the signature stern character on the Disney Destiny. This larger-than-life sculpture will showcase Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots, who are making a well-meant, if a bit haphazard, attempt at decorating the filigree on the back of the ship with their infamous spider webs.
Destiny Tower Suite
The Destiny Tower Suite aboard the Disney Destiny will be a Marvel-inspired penthouse inspired by Tony Stark’s home in the Marvel Studios’ Iron Man films. Armor-like materials and mechanical elements will be balanced by soft, inviting finishes to create an opulent experience.
The one-of-a-kind suite will be set high in the ship’s forward funnel and will offer incredible views of the top deck and beyond through an expansive two-story window. With nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, the Destiny Tower Suite will comfortably sleep eight guests and feature designated areas for eating, sleeping and playing, as well as other perks like a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.
Saga
Just off the Grand Hall on decks four and five of the Disney Destiny, you will be able to write your own vacation legend at Saga, a central hub for daytime family activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment. The two-story, state-of-the-art venue will host a variety of interactive shows and events in an elevated environment. The decor of the Saga will take it’s inspiration from the architecture of Wakanda.
Worlds of Marvel and Marvel Super Hero Academy
The Disney Destiny will also feature two guest-favorite experiences from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, inspired by the stories and characters of the Marvel Universe.
First, Worlds of Marvel, Disney Cruise Line’s Marvel-themed dining experience, will host an out-of-this-world celebration starring the lively duo of Rocket and Groot from Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy films. During a tribute to the many Super Heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who keep the world safe, Groot will take over the proceedings and bring the festivities to the next level like only he can, organizing the ultimate surprise party for his friend Rocket — just in time for your dessert!
And, in Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids ages 3 to 10 will become the heroes of their own epic Disney adventures at Marvel Super Hero Academy, a high-tech Avengers headquarters where young “recruits” are trained to be the next generation of Super Heroes alongside some of their favorite Avengers.
