It's a battle of good versus evil on the newest addition to Disney Cruise Line. Disney Destiny, which sets sail November 2025, brings a "Heroes and Villains" themed adventure to the sea, featuring characters pulled from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Disney Parks.

"For the Disney Destiny, we will introduce brand-new cruise experiences inspired by the legends and legacies of some of Disney’s most iconic heroes and villains," a statement from Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Cruise Line, reads. "From the dining rooms to the staterooms and everywhere in between, guests aboard our new ship will be surrounded by extraordinary storytelling paired with the signature service and family-fun adventures that are hallmarks of a Disney Cruise vacation."

For the first time in Disney Cruise Line history a Marvel superhero will be the signature stern character, with a sculpture of Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots. Featured in the Grand Hall will be a statue of T’Challa from Black Panther.

The Grand Hall of the Disney Destiny will be its most striking and prominent gathering space, a mythical realm that welcomes guests into the rich lore, distinctive iconography and vibrant palette of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” films. Presiding over the Grand Hall will be a stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, devoted son and beloved brother sworn to protect his kingdom — and the Disney Destiny.

Disney Destiny will set off on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida next year. Its inaugural season will consist of four and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, including visits to Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

New dining experiences are set to be a highlight aboard Disney Destiny, including Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King. Animals and nature will be featured through lighting and special effects, including a back wall that will transform from sunrise to sunset during each guest's meal. Performances will include “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata,” and a mash-up of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Be Prepared."

Edna Mode’s lab, where the famed fashion designer from Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Incredibles” films whips up outfits for the world’s most famous Supers, will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind confectionary at the brand-new Edna Á La Mode Sweets aboard the Disney Destiny. The equipment once used to make super suits for the Incredibles will be repurposed to produce a selection of handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies and other specialty treats for families.

Edna Á La Mode Sweets will be the location for a sweet treat. Based on Edna Mode’s lab from The Incredibles movies and inspired by the Auntie Edna short film, the lab's sewing equipment is replaced with a sweet-making machine with gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies, and specialty treats to eat.

The Disney Destiny will introduce a quirky new storyline on AquaMouse, Disney Cruise Line’s signature attraction at sea. In “Sing a Silly Song,” Mickey and Minnie will lead guests on a seemingly ominous trek to the peak of Villain Mountain. When faced with some of the most fearsome villains of Disney Animation lore, the duo will employ a silly song — and a bit of pixie dust — to transform each chilling encounter into a wacky surprise.

While AquaMouse was the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, a 760-foot water ride on the Disney Wish, a new AquaMouse storyline will debut on Disney Destiny. Mickey and Minnie take guests on a trek to the peak of Villain Mountain and have to sing a silly song to thwart the villains they come in contact with on the way.

For all the Cruella de Vil fans, this cruise is for you. Disney Destiny will feature De Vil's piano lounge. It's described as a "lavish" bar with trendy and chic cocktails and wines, featuring a Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic and a black, white and red colour palette.

An evening at De Vil’s piano lounge on the Disney Destiny will be a lavish affair emblematic of the bar’s namesake, the fabulously over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” and the acclaimed 2021 live action film. Amid sultry tunes from the spotted piano, guests will wind down in style with trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wines and bubblies. (Disney)

Cask and Cannon pulls inspiration for the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at Disney Parks, a pub filled with "treasures." Live televised sporting events will be shown at the pub, which will also have a menu of rare rums, and "bootlegged brews" served pirate-style.

For the Marvel fans, Doctor Strange elements hit the seas with The Sanctum, a lounge for coffee, cocktails and entertainment.

There's one thing you can always count on from a Disney cruise, the staterooms and suites will look gorgeous, and that's certainly the case for what we've seen for Disney Destiny.

Each stateroom is set to include custom artwork featuring the journeys of famous Disney legends.

Concierge guests on the ship will receive a "premium level of dedicated service and access to exclusive areas and amenities." That will include the concierge lounge and access to the private sun deck. The concierge staterooms and suites will include Fantasia-inspired watercolour-style artwork.

Seven ocean view rooms will be decorated with elements from The Incredibles and feature floor-to-ceiling views. 

The royal suites include the Hercules-themed Hero Suites with Greco-Roman design features and the IncrediSuites where mid-century modern aesthetics meet The Incredibles.

The Destiny Tower Suite will honor the mighty legacy of Iron Man with a luxurious take on the sleek, industrial designs of Tony Stark. Located in the ship’s forward funnel, this nearly 2,000-sqaure-foot suite accommodates up to 8 guests and offers incredible views through an expansive two-story window; designated areas for eating, sleeping and playing; and other perks like a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.
