All the new Disney Cruise Line ships sailing from 2027 to 2031
Disney Cruise Line currently operates eight ships, with Disney Believe scheduled to debut in 2027 and three ships in a new class planned for 2029 through 2031. Separately, Oriental Land Co., the operator of Tokyo Disney Resort, will launch the Japan-based Disney Imagination in spring 2029 under the Disney Cruise Line Japan brand.

Disney Cruise Line Ships are the Disney Magic (1998), Disney Wonder (1999), Disney Dream (2011), Disney Fantasy (2012), Disney Wish (2022), Disney Treasure (2024), Disney Destiny (2025), and Disney Adventure (2026).
Let’s recap with the two newest ships to join the fleet!
Disney Destiny (2025)
The third ship in Disney Cruise Line’s Wish Class—the others are the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure—is themed to heroes and villains. The ship features the return of fan-favorites from her sister ships, including the Haunted Mansion Parlor, Worlds of Marvel restaurant, and the Aqua Mouse attraction at sea, along with all-new experiences such as the Doctor Strange-themed Sanctum lounge, DeVil’s piano bar, and Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King dinner show.

Disney Destiny also features the debut of an all-new Broadway-style musical production of “Hercules,” which includes innovative staging, impressive puppetry, and a never-before-heard song called “Shooting Star,” written for the animated movie but not included in the final cut.
- Maiden Voyage: Nov. 20, 2025
- Home Port: Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
- Inaugural Itinerary: 4- and 5-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean
Disney Adventure (2026)
Disney Adventure is divided into seven themed zones: Town Square inspired by Disney fairytales; Disney Imagination Garden featuring live performances on an open-air stage; Marvel Landing featuring three all-new Avengers-themed attractions (Ironcycle Run, Pym Quantum Racers, and Groot Galaxy Spin); the Toy Story Place kid’s water play zone; Wayfinder Bay themed to “Moana;” San Fransokyo Street featuring interactive games, an arcade, and cinemas; and the Disney Discovery Reef shopping and dining area inspired by “The Little Mermaid,” “Lilo & Stitch,” “Finding Nemo,” and “Luca.”

The ship features several Disney Cruise Line “firsts,” including an all-new Broadway-style musical based on “WALL-E,” and a Marvel-themed adventure zone featuring Ironcycle Test Run, the longest roller coaster at sea, but because Disney Adventure was a partially completed ship purchased from another cruise line, it also features a new stateroom type not offered on any other Disney ship: interior garden-view rooms with verandahs that overlook the Disney Imagination Garden.
- Maiden Voyage: March 10, 2026 (delayed from Dec. 15, 2025)
- Home Port: Singapore
- Inaugural Itinerary: Three- and four-night round-trip cruises (all sea days; no ports of call)
