MEET DISNEY DESTINY

A heroes-and-villains ship with Wakandan design, Lion King dining and Hercules on stage.

Disney Destiny uses the Wish-class layout but changes its emotional center: heroes, villains and the choices between them shape the Grand Hall, restaurants, lounges and entertainment.

DINING

Know the included dinner experiences and the flexible daytime options.

Pride Lands is the ship-specific rotational experience. The current Worlds of Marvel program and each menu can change, so treat Disney's current listing as the source at booking.

  • Worlds of Marvel
  • 1923

Buffet and casual food

  • Marceline Market

POOLS AND WATER PLAY

The Wish-class water deck returns with a villain-themed AquaMouse story.

  • Family pools
  • Toy Story Splash Zone
  • Slide-a-saurus Rex
  • Trixie's Falls
  • Quiet Cove for adults
GRAND HALL

Wakanda and Black Panther define the ship's central gathering space.

A T'Challa statue and vibranium-inspired chandelier give the Grand Hall a look found nowhere else in the fleet.

  • Vibranium-inspired chandelier
  • Heroes-and-villains programming
THEATERS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Disney Hercules is the ship's signature new musical.

The stage lineup pairs Hercules with two established Disney Cruise Line productions.

  • Wonderland and Never Land cinemas
YOUTH AND ADULT SPACES

Marvel-rich youth areas are balanced by some of the fleet's most characterful adult lounges.

Saga and other venues can change age designation by time of day, so use Navigator for the live audience rules.

  • Edge and Vibe
  • Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté
  • De Vil's and Haunted Mansion Parlor
  • Cask & Cannon and The Sanctum
