Disney Cruise Line has 3 new ships coming out by the end of 2025!

Disney has 3 new ships coming out by the end of 2025!!

That will bring the fleet to 8 ships!


Let me start off by telling you the ships in order of build.

Magic (1998) was 1st and then Wonder (1999). These 2 ships are nearly identical twins and are called the Magic or Classic Class. One being Art Deco and one Art Nuevo. They are the smallest of the Disney ships and carry 1,750 passengers. Magic sails out of various ports. She moves around filling in where needed. Wonder usually does spring and fall West Coast cruises and summers in Alaska. For the last couple of years she has also headed to Australia during their summer our winder months. Wonder may go to the Gulf and East Coast as well.

Dream (2011) and Fantasy (2012) are the 3rd and 4thships in the fleet and are once again nearly identical twins. They are called the Dream Class of ships. This class of ship carry 2,500 guests. At this time Dream is sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, Fl and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Fantasy is going out of Port Canaveral Fl and then headed to Europe for the summer months.

All four of the original ships have Animator’s Palate Restaurant. Magic also has Lumiere’s and Rapunzel’s Royal Table. Wonder has Triton’s and Tiana’s Place. Both Dream and Fantasy have Enchanted Garden. Dream has Royal Palace. Fantasy has Royal Court. Really there is not much difference between Royal Court and Palace. The restaurants that have shows on these ships are Animator’s Palate, Rapunzel’s Royal Table and Tiana’s Place. The rest are just fancy sit down restaurants in my opinion. Beautifully themed but easily found on land.

Magic has the AquaDunk. It is a short drop waterslide off the forward funnel. Wonder has no big waterslide. Dream and Fantasy have the AquaDuck, the first Water Coaster at Sea!

Wish joined the fleet in 2022 and is the 1st of a new class of Disney ship, the Wish or Triton Class. Her theme is a Royal Castle at sea. She is the first of a set of triplet ships! This class of ship can carry 2,508 passengers. For the main restaurants it has 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and Arendelle a Frozen Dining Adventure. There are shows in Marvel and Arendelle. 1923 is a fancy sit down with the glitz and glam of 1923 Hollywood, honoring the starting date of the Walt Disney Film Company. Wish only sails 3 and 4-Night Bahamian itineraries so you get shows once in the 2 restaurants with shows. Wish has some fantastically themed lounges! It has the Hyperspace, Star Wars lounge that is a big hit as well as the Bayou. AquaMouse is the Triton Class ships version of the AquaDuck. AquaMouse is the first Disney Attraction at Sea. Think Fantasyland Dark ride crossed with Water Coaster! There are two themes on the video screen that that make up the ride. Wish has an AR game that is a search for the Wishing Star.

December 21st, 2024 the Disney Treasure will join the fleet. Her theme will be Adventure. She will be sailing out of Port Canaveral on 7-Night Caribbean itineraries. The main restaurants will be 1923, Worlds of Marvel and Plaza de Coco. Both Marvel and Coco will have 2 different shows during the 7-Night cruise. There will be Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, and 20,000 League Under the Sea lounges! The major construction of the Treasure is complete once completed she will do her sea trials in the next few months before being turned over to Disney Cruise Line.

Treasure will have the AquaMouse! She will keep the 2 themed runs from the Wish and add her own! We are waiting for announcement on the status of an AR game.

Destiny is the 3rd of the triplets! She will join her sisters in the fleet in 2025. Destiny’s theme is Heroes and Villains. The build was started late last year. Not much is know about her as they just released her name and theme. It is guessed she will have 1923 and Marvel restaurants but the 3rd is an unknown. We can assume she will have the AquaMouse and maybe even add a new show! We do not know where she will call home port, but I can guess it will be Port Canaveral.

Disney Adventure has the most interesting story. Adventure started her life being built for a Chinese Cruise Line. Both the Cruise Line and Shipyard building her went bankrupt during the Covid Pandemic. With both Line and Shipyard going under the ship, then called the Global Dream was going to be sold for scrap. DCL stepped in and purchased the ½ built ship and asked the Meyer Warf, the shipyard that has built every Disney ship from the Dream on to take over the closed shipyard and finish her, fixing her to be a Disney Ship. Really, we know nothing more about this massive ship, other than she will carry a staggering 6,000 passengers.

Disney Adventure will join the fleet sometime in 2025 she will be sailing out of Singapore for her first 5 years, she will cover the South Pacific. Covering the South Pacific I think she can do the Asian Pacific countries and maybe even Australia and New Zealand. After 5 years she can stay there or maybe come to the West Coast of America. This is completely unknown.

Disney Parks Blog posts a Ships Log for the Treasure Build and I believe they are starting to do one for the Destiny. So you can follow along!

I hope this helps you pick your next Disney Cruise Ship to sail on!! If you have questions do ask us, Pixie Dusted Memories Travel to help!
