The other four ships in the entire fleet are the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy. The Disney Adventure will join the fleet in 2025.

History

In March 2016, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships, described as larger than Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy but with an equivalent number of staterooms.[1] [2] A third ship of the class was announced on July 15, 2017 at the D23 Expo.[3] In March 2018, Disney Cruise Line released the first rendering of its new generation of cruise ships.[4] [5] The 140,000-ton cruise liners would be LNG-powered and would accommodate at least 2,500 guests.[6] In January 2019, the class of ship was confirmed as Triton in public documents published by Port Canaveral,[7] [8] however, is now following the standard naming of class after the first ship.[9] The first of these ships, Disney Wish, was launched in June 2022,[10] with the second ship, Disney Treasure, set to launch in December 2024.[11]

On March 20, 2024, the ship was officially announced as the Disney Destiny and will set sail in 2025.[12] In May 2024, during the Q2 reports, the ship will instead sail in 2026.[13] However, in July 2024, it was announced that the ship had been pushed up to November 2025.[14]

On July 31, 2024, Disney revealed that the ship would prominently feature characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes the Worlds of Marvel restaurant, with a dinner show starring the Guardians of the Galaxy, and a lounge inspired by the Sanctum Sanctorum, home of Doctor Strange. Additionally, the lobby features a Black Panther statue and is themed to the nation of Wakanda, Spider-Man appears on the ship's stern, and the "Destiny Tower suite" is inspired by Iron Man.[15]
