📣Have you heard the big news today? Disney Cruise Line Reveals Name and Theme of Next Ship, Sailing in 2025🚢

Today, Disney shared the very first details about their next Disney Cruise Line ship! The Disney Destiny, sister to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, will have a first-of-its-kind design theme, “Heroes and Villains,” drawing on the legacies of beloved Disney stories, characters and theme park attractions.

💫The Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams were inspired by the dynamic duality of every great Disney story when developing this new ship, where opposing forces of light and dark drive characters to rise to their purpose. Onboard, guests will encounter heroes and villains alike – including those from beloved Walt Disney Animation stories like “The Lion King,” “Hercules” and “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” – within spaces, experiences and entertainment throughout their voyage.
💫Minnie Mouse embodies the spirit of the Disney Destiny in this brand-new filigree artwork for the bow of the ship, continuing a beloved Disney Cruise Line design tradition. Donning a heroic new ensemble – cape and all! – and a valiant pose, she will boldly lead guests on epic cruise vacations.
💫The Disney Destiny also reached a new construction milestone today with the keel laying ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, which is a maritime tradition designed to bestow good luck upon the ship. Delivery for Disney Destiny is scheduled for 2025.
💫With this ship of destiny beginning to take shape, stay tuned for more details!

Flight was delayed, but as Nemo says, “we go with the flow.” We were happy and thankful to leave our luggage with Bell Services and then head over for some more time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and then ride the Skyliner over to EPCOT! Our trip was not complete until we rode one of my favorites of my “nostalgia” rides - Spaceship Earth! And, of course, reminded me of my Adventures by Disney in Egypt🥰
