Disney launched its newest cruise ship, the Disney Destiny, on Wednesday, so fans can soon set out on a new journey.
The launch of Disney Destiny is scheduled for 2025. The teams will be working diligently to build and design the ship, which will have a “Heroes and Villains” theme, until then. Disney stories, with their “opposing forces of light and dark,” are known for their “dynamic duality,” which served as an inspiration for the designers.
Upon completion of the ship, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with heroes and villains from films such as “The Lion King,” “Hercules,” and “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.” In keeping with that theme, there will be new filigree artwork on the ship’s bow that depicts a brave Minnie Mouse with a flowing cape.
Disneyland could get an Avatar-themed park.
According to a statement from Sharon Siskie, executive vice president and general manager of Disney Cruise Line, “The Disney Destiny will celebrate our most legendary Disney stories and characters, bringing them to life in new and exciting ways exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests.”
“As we continue to expand our fleet, the Disney Destiny will further strengthen our position as a leader in family cruising as we offer even more ways for families to experience Disney magic and world-class service at sea.”
According to a press release, Minnie Mouse will also be seen on the ship’s bow “striking a valiant pose in a heroic ensemble as her cape waves waving majestically in the sea breeze.”
Disney Wish, which made its premiere in 2022, and Disney Treasure, which is slated to sail the seven seas in December, will be followed by Disney Destiny as the third ship in the DCL’s Wish class.
Disney had earlier declared that it would put aside $12 billion to finance the purchase of additional cruise ships, increasing the company’s fleet from five to eight.
