Disney Cruise Line is preparing to make waves with its newest ship, the Disney Destiny, embarking on its maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale on November 20, 2025.

The vessel, built by Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, recently celebrated its “float up” milestone, signaling a new phase of system testing and readiness for sea trials.

Once in service, Disney Destiny promises a dynamic mix of heroes and villains inspired by Disney classics, with immersive dining and entertainment options.

Highlights include Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King restaurant, the stylish De Vil’s lounge, and a fresh Broadway-style Disney Hercules stage show.

The heroic theme extends to a striking Black Panther statue and staterooms featuring custom art from favorites like Mulan and Merida.

With bookings now open, guests can reserve 4- or 5-night adventures to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, including stops at Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.

Excitement is mounting for this bold new chapter in Disney cruising.
