The ship will feature new spaces and experiences filled with Disney storytelling that will bring the characters and worlds from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars to life.

Among the highlights aboard the ship will be the first-ever Disney attraction at sea featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse; a theatrical dining experience set in the world of “Frozen;” a Marvel-themed “cinematic dining adventure;” and a first-of-its-kind Star Wars lounge experience.

“With the Disney Wish, we’re continuing our tradition of delivering the most magical and relaxing vacations at sea, combining legendary service and entertainment with imaginative storytelling and all the care you expect from a Disney vacation,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. “Our newest ship will celebrate everything that families love about sailing with us, from the incredible dining experiences and character interactions, to dazzling shows and the crew’s thoughtful attention to detail. We can’t wait to welcome our guests aboard the Disney Wish as we expand the reach of our world-class fleet.”

To “Swim”-finity and Beyond

Fun in the sun aboard the Disney Cruise Line will be taken to the next level aboard the Disney Wish with a brand-new family water attraction and three themed areas for families, children and adults alike.

“The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” animated shorts will come to life aboard the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, AquaMouse. With show scenes, lighting and special effects, this water ride will take riders through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper decks.

Families will have more pools, deck space and dining in a new district themed to Mickey and friends. Alongside AquaMouse, the area will feature six pools — staggered among tiered decks and surrounded by lounge chairs — as well as a new take on casual fare with a character twist.

Younger cruisers will find themselves at home in the new Toy Story-themed district, designed especially for families with toddlers and young children. This area will include a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide, and a smoothie bar.

Adults will also have their own hideaway at Quiet Cove, a peaceful refuge set away from the hustle and bustle of family activities. The secluded adults-only district will include an infinity pool, poolside bar, and cafe.

Prepared and Served with Flair — A Culinary Cabaret

Three new family dining concepts will make their debut onboard the Disney Wish, ranging from theatrical entertainment and cinematic adventures to classic, elegant dining.

Worlds of Marvel will be the first Marvel “cinematic dining adventure,” where guests will play a part in an Avengers mission that unfolds around them, complete with a menu inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

1923, named for the year that The Walt Disney Company was founded, is a celebration of the company’s legacy that pays homage to the golden age of animation. The menu will offer dishes inspired by Disney’s Californian heritage with a fusion of cultural flavors.

A Whole New World of Family Entertainment

The Disney Wish will evolve the Grand Hall from a gathering space into an environmental theater through built-in special effects and the first-ever atrium stage aboard a Disney ship. Dedicated shows and interactive entertainment will come to life throughout this space.

Luna will be a brand-new entertainment hub that will transition from a daytime setting for family fun into an elegant nighttime venue for adult-exclusive entertainment. Live shows and interactive programming will be offered here throughout the day.

Hero Zone will be a futuristic sports arena where physical activity will combine with action-packed challenges and game show-style competitions for families to enjoy together.

The Walt Disney Theatre will be an opulent “show palace” that will offer original Broadway-style stage productions developed exclusively for Disney Cruise Line — starting with “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular.”

The Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas will provide guests with the chance to watch classic and first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and more in an intimate screening room experience.

And, like other Disney Cruise experiences, the Disney Wish will offer stage shows, deck parties, character experiences, family activities, contemporary cabarets, and more.

Imaginations, Assemble! Cool Clubs for Kids of All Ages

The ship will offer dedicated clubs for every age group with programming facilitated by Disney-trained counselors, set in environments inspired by Disney storytelling.
