Disney Destiny Updates: Latest News from the Heroes and Villains Ship
Are you ready to meet your destiny?
The Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams are hard at work with the crew at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany to bring Disney Cruise Line’s heroes and villains-themed ship, the Disney Destiny, to life – and it may be further along than you think!
Here on the Disney Destiny ship’s log, you can get an exclusive look at the shipbuilding process, along with behind-the-scenes looks at some of the exciting Disney stories coming to life inside. Be sure to bookmark this page for regular updates all the way through the ship’s maiden voyage on November 20, 2025 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fl.
With the final block of the Disney Destiny in place, the team at Meyer Werft shipyard can turn their attention to installing the unique exterior features that will distinguish the ship. First on the list is a whimsical art piece on the Disney Destiny’s bow, which depicts Minnie Mouse striking a valiant pose in her new heroic ensemble. With her cape billowing behind her, Minnie Mouse’s outfit symbolizes the Disney Destiny’s first-of-its-kind “Heroes and Villains” design theme.
The elegant, hand-painted filigree continues a longstanding Disney Cruise Line tradition dating back to the fleet’s first ship, the Disney Magic, with every Disney Cruise Line vessel having a distinct character-inspired image embossed on its bow. In the lead up to the Disney Destiny’s maiden voyage in November of this year, the team at Meyer Werft shipyard will continue to add details to the ship’s exterior and interior.
On the stern will be Spider-Man and Spider-Bots
The Disney Destiny’s maiden voyage is this November. It will sail out of Fort Lauderdale on four- and five-night voyages to the Bahamas with stops at Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay.
The Disney Destiny will debut a new “Hercules” stage show, a Black Panther atrium statue, an Iron Man themed tower suite, pirates of the Caribbean lounge and a Dr. Strange lounge. It will be the third Wish-Class ship, therefore it’s the same layout as the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure.
Today, we are bringing you a first look at this ship’s progress and are excited to share that the final blocks (i.e. sections of the ship) were put into place in late 2024. That’s right – with the last piece of the ship in place, the ship’s exterior is now structurally complete and outfitting work has begun on the interior. Take a look at this time-lapse construction footage to see the Disney Destiny’s progress, including a look at how it was built alongside the Disney Treasure in the shipyard.
