Last night, Disney Cruise Line christened its newest ship, the 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure, at a glittering ceremony at Manhattan's Pier 66, complete with a drone show and live performance by Jordin Sparks, singing the ship's anthem. Today, TPG got a sneak preview of the ship and tried out its highly anticipated new spaces, including the Haunted Mansion Bar and Plaza de Coco restaurant.
Disney Treasure shares the same layout as its sister ship, Disney Wish, but its interior spaces have unique decor and theming. The ship is dedicated to adventure and exploration, and some of its signature bars are inspired by iconic Disney theme park attractions.
Here, we give you a first look inside Disney's newest cruise ship with photos from our ship tour. Stay tuned — TPG will be reporting from an actual sailing in December when we'll get to experience the venues under full activation.
Disney Treasure's Grand Hall evokes the palaces of Africa and Asia, with a not-so-secret nod to Disney's "Aladdin." The central carpet has a fountain motif, and the elaborate chandelier pays homage to the six current ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
In addition to being everyone's first impression of the ship after embarkation, the Grand Hall is the site of various performances, including live music and storytelling by new characters, Coriander and Sage. (They will even perform after-hours stories for adults.)
From the Grand Hall, guests can set out in many directions to find adventure aboard Disney Treasure.

Plaza de Coco is a Mexican-inspired restaurant based on the movie "Coco" and is the ship's new addition to the included dining rotation. The space is warm and inviting with rich colors, and the hallway leading to the venue sets the tone for the meal to come, complete with family photos and an ofrenda.
The dining experience here will include live mariachi music and dancing by the characters from the "Coco" film, with two distinct shows because guests will eat dinner here twice on a weeklong sailing. The first show has a family theme, while the second celebrates Dia de los Muertos.
Don't miss the croquetas and the spicy chocolate tart dessert.
The Worlds of Marvel restaurant debuted on Disney Wish and returns on Treasure. The venue will feature the same show as Wish, "Quantum Encounter," plus a second "Guardians of the Galaxy" show entitled "Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix."
We saw the new show, which is sure to bring out all the good vibes with an adorable Groot. In between scenes, test your knowledge with superhero trivia.
