New Experiences Onboard the Disney Destiny (April 14, 2025)
On April 14, 2025, Disney Cruise Line revealed even more details about the upcoming Disney Destiny. Here's a breakdown of what was announced:
The Grand Hall
- The Grand Hall is going to be very grand, indeed! Inspired by "Black Panther," its design will reflect both heroic and villainous energy — ya never know who will stop by! Expect bold colors and 360-degree lighting that can shift instantly, especially when certain characters (hello, Loki!) make their entrance.
Character Experiences & Entertainment
- Is that Minnie Mouse dressed in her superhero outfit?! It's giving Ms. Marvel and we can't get enough.
- Cruella de Vil will host two brand-new experiences: Cruella’s wretched runway, a fashion-forward experience where guests walk the runway as Cruella gives her critique in real time. There will also be musical takeover, where guests help her rewrite the "Cruella de Vil" theme song into something more, well, flattering, darling!
- Dr. Facilier will materialize with tricks, sleight of hand and tempting games of chance in the Grand Hall.
- Maleficent will make her appearance over in Saga lounge. You can choose to observe her from afar or dare to get closer. Mmmhahaha!
- The brand-new stage production, "Disney Hercules," will feature massive puppets, created by the same award-winning puppeteer behind "Disney The Tale of Moana" on the Disney Treasure.
Stateroom Art & Design
- Disney shared more details about the stateroom decor that will carry over the hero versus villain theme. Inside every stateroom will be beautiful new artwork inspired by Hercules, Mulan, Merida or Sorcerer Mickey Mouse. The details are everything!
