JUST REVEALED: New Look at the Disney Destiny Cruise Ship

We are obsessed with the Disney Cruise Line!

Disney Wish at Castaway Cay

The fleet has expanded quite a bit in the last few years, and it’s continuing to grow! The Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure are getting ready to hit the high seas. Now we’re finally getting a new look at what you’ll be able to find on board the Destiny!

The Disney Destiny is setting sail in November 2025, and we’ve already gotten a sneak peek into what the new ship has to offer. The boat is themed to Disney Heroes and Villains, which you can see throughout all of the ship’s design.

We have loved seeing the boat come to life every time we get a glimpse at how this ship will be different from the rest. One of the best parts of any Disney Cruise ship is the Oceaneer Club, and we’re finally getting a peek inside.

Oceaneer Club on the Disney Wish

If you don’t know, the Oceaneer Club on the Disney Cruise Line is a kids-only place to play, learn, and enjoy their sailing with different themed rooms depending on their ages. The Oceaneer Club will be themed to different Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, and each space will have trained Disney counselors to help guide the kids.

The club is designed for kids aged 3-10, and on board the Disney Destiny, they’ll be able to see characters from Wreck-It Ralph! These characters will be located at the entrance of the Youth Activities area by adding colorful sweets into the details. This will include things like candy light fixtures and custom carpets that will look like the speedway from the movie. (Including the chocolate and caramel sauce outlining the tracks!)

Disney is also bringing in LIFE-SIZE statues of the movie’s villain turned hero (who’s perfect for the ship’s theming), Ralph. Vanellope von Schweetz will also be there as a life-size statue. Disney shared that these characters are perfect for “reminding us that even the so-called ‘villains’ can be heroes in their own right.”

One of the Imagineers who is working directly on the statue’s creation is Meg Tracy, who can be seen working on the new designs. The statues will be on Deck 2, ready to greet any kiddo looking for an adventure in the Oceaneers Club.

We are obsessed with the theming of each Oceaneers Club across the Disney Cruise Line fleet and personally wish that it wasn’t a kids-only space. Luckily for us and you, you can explore the Oceaneers Club during the ship’s open house on your embarkation day, which we highly recommend.
