Dreaming of boarding Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny? Here’s your chance!

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, Disney Destiny, is making preparations and receiving its final touches before it’s able to welcome its first voyagers onboard later this year. While this ship is an absolute dream boat (pun intended for our Carousel of Progress fans), it will also be the first time Disney will offer you a chance to cheer for your favorite heroes or villains, depending on where you book your stateroom. If you’re looking to be among the first on board to set sail on the Disney Destiny and haven’t already secured your booking, there’s one more way you could get your chance to be among the first to see it for yourself in person!
That’s right — you could win a Disney Cruise onboard Disney’s newest ship! Right now, Disney Cruise Line is running a sweepstakes where the grand prize is a 4-night or 5-night Disney Cruise Line vacation (length of cruise dependent on chosen sail date) for the winner and up to three of their chosen guests.

Sounds great, right? Here’s the catch. In order to enter, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow. First, you’ll want to make sure you’re following @DisneyCruiseLine on Instagram. Then your entry is submitted by posting a photo on your own Instagram feed, posed like your favorite Disney hero or villain with #DisneyDestinySweepstakes in the comments. And all that’s left to do at that point is wait to hear when the winner is announced.

In their announcement of the sweepstakes, Disney Cruise Line posted several ideas for heroes (like the iconic baby Simba presentation from “The Lion King”)…

…and even a training Hercules with Phil!

But don’t worry — if you’re rooting for the villains, there are plenty of ideas you could come up with as well, like this one, Cruella in her car!

You’ve got a few weeks to get your posts up and submissions in! The sweepstakes will end on September 30th at 11:59PM ET. It’s open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., who are 18+ at time of entry, and there is a limit of 1 entry per person. The prize sailing must be booked at least 45 days prior to the intended travel dates and must occur between January 1st, 2026, and January 1st, 2027, subject to blockout dates at the discretion of Disney Cruise Line and subject to change without notice. If travel is not completed by January 1, 2027, the prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind.

All of those ideas Disney Cruise Line posted in their announcement really have our ideas swirling now! Don’t delay getting your entry submitted, and be sure to check back with us for more Disney news, giveaways, and sweepstakes soon.
