Last year was a BIG one for Disney Cruise Line. A second island destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point opened in June 2024. (Of course, your favorite frog family was there on opening day and it was frogtastic!) Hop over to our tropical guide to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point for all the details.
In addition, the second Triton ship, the Disney Treasure — sister to the Disney Wish and forthcoming Disney Destiny (more on that below) — made her debut on Dec. 21, 2024. The anticipation for this ship was SUPER exciting. The overall design is inspired by Walt Disney's passion for adventure and exploration. Additionally, the Disney Treasure has "Aladdin," "Pocohantas," "Up" and "Encanto" themed staterooms. And Plaza De Coco is the new rotational dining venue.
The ship is home to multiple themed bar and lounge areas such as the Haunted Mansion Parlor, Periscope Pub and Skipper Society. The AquaMouse received a new storyline, Curse of the Golden Egg. And "Disney The Tale of Moana" premieres as the new Broadway-style show onboard. Be sure to visit our full Disney Treasure ship guide for more information.
Also for 2024, the Disney Dream received several refurbishments including Disney's Oceaneer Club, a brand-new funnel suite, a new concierge lounge and a revitalized spa.
