I love all things Disney, but I haven't been able to justify spending the money visiting Disney World as an adult. The last time I went was in 2013 on a high school trip, and admittedly, I didn't pay for that.
Disney Announces Major Cruise Line Expansion with 4 New Ships
12.08.2024 - 18:29 / travelandleisure.com / Josh Damaro
Disney Cruise Line plans to add four new ships in the coming years, bringing its total fleet size to 13.
The new ships, which Disney announced as part of its D23 event this weekend, will arrive between 2027 and 2031. Disney said the names of the new ships, their design, and where they would sail were still in development.
“At Disney Experiences, Imagineers dream, create, design and build these stories into real places… everything we’re going to share with you is in active development,” Josh D’Amaro, the chairman of Disney Experiences, said in a statement. “Plans are drawn. Dirt is moving.”
In addition to the newly announced ships, Disney currently operates five ships and is planning on adding four more in the near future, including the Disney Destiny, which the company plans to launch in 2025. That ship will feature a heroes and villains theme along with recently-announced new restaurants like a “The Lion King”-themed spot complete with windows that transition from sunrise to sunset as you eat, tiered risers made to look like African drums, live musicians and storytellers, and favorite songs like the “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata.”
The company is also preparing for the launch of the Disney Treasure, which is set to hit the high seas late this year. Over the weekend, D’Amaro detailed a new onboard stage production all about “Moana” on the ship, which will feature a larger-than-life 15-foot-tall puppet version of the fiery Te Kā.
“I’ve had a chance to see this in person, and it is stunning,” D’Amaro said, adding the puppet was “the largest we’ve ever produced for a Disney Cruise Line show.”
Currently, Disney sails to the Caribbean, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Alaska, Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, Australia, and beyond.
In addition to large ocean cruises, Disney operates a series of expedition and river cruises through its Adventures by Disney brand.
