I hope you’re ready for an ADVENTURE… because THE BIG DAY is finally here!
Today is the day we get to see the inside of Disney Cruise Line’s newest addition to the fleet, the Disney Treasure! We’ve been following all the news about this new ship ever since it was announced in September 2022. Now we’re covering everything from stem to stern about this beautiful upcoming addition to Disney Cruise Line, and we’re beyond excited to share it with you. Without further ado… LET’S GO!
Disney Treasure — Adventure Awaits…
The Disney Treasure is the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. If you keep up with Disney Cruise Line news, you may already be familiar with the fleet’s most recent addition, the Disney Wish. While the Disney Wish is known as Disney’s “Castle on the Seas,” the Disney Treasure will celebrate “Walt Disney’s lifelong love of adventure!”
The design of the Disney Treasure is “inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace,” and draws influences from Asia, Africa, and even Aladdin’s Agrabah. And who should be there to greet you in the Grand Hall as you step onboard… none other than Aladdin himself, Jasmine, and the ever-faithful Magic Carpet as they come together as the Treasure’s signature sculpture!
Of course, it won’t just be friends from Aladdin joining you on the adventure. Disney shares that the Disney Treasure will “unlock the far-reaching realms of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel and embrace dynamic tales from beloved Disney Parks attractions.” For example, individual spaces on the ship are inspired by stories including Coco and Zootopia.
Oh, and a few more Disney pals will be along for the sailings, too… In fact, Minnie Mouse will debut a brand new look on the Disney Treasure!
So, what does all this mean in regards to the specific features on the Disney Treasure? Let’s EXPLORE!
Disney Treasure — Rotational Family Dining
The Disney Treasure will boast three restaurants as part of Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rotational Dining, whereby you get to dine for dinner at three unique restaurants while your wonderful crew servers rotate with you so they get to know your group and dining preferences!
Let’s start with the NEW restaurant, entirely unique to the Disney Treasure…
Plaza de Coco
Coco will come to life in a brand new way at Plaza de Coco! This theatrical dining experience will be the FIRST themed to the beloved Disney and Pixar film.
Miguel and his familia will come together in Mariachi Plaza (as their story continues from where it ended in the film), and guests will join them on TWO evenings to celebrate family memories and the joy of being together through live music and delicious meals!
The dinner menus will present “modern twists on traditional Mexican fare,” while the individual shows are presented in a theater-in-the-round environment focused on a central stage.
There is more to share about each of the two nights of entertainment, from stories to characters, while both ultimately culminate in honoring “the heritage of music and love that runs deep in the Rivera family” in different ways…

Worlds of Marvel
The Disney Wish presented the first-ever Marvel dining adventure, and we’re thrilled that guests aboard the Disney Treasure will also have the chance to experience Worlds of Marvel!
Two nights will feature their own individual shows and dinner menus presenting cuisine inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while celebrating characters and stories of the Avengers… including an interaction with Spider-Man!
Click HERE to get an in-depth look at the Worlds of Marvel dining experience!
1923
1923, named after the founding year of Walt Disney Animation Studios, takes guests on a journey through animation. Dining areas present an upscale Hollywood setting with “a dash of Disney whimsy,” while guests take in the surrounding artwork depicting both modern and classic Disney animated productions (which Disney shares will be “exploration-themed” on the Treasure).
Dishes will feature fresh California flavors “inspired by the fusion of cultural flavors” found throughout the Golden State, with items everyone in the family can enjoy.
Check out MORE of 1923 HERE!
Disney Treasure — Lounges
If you’re a diehard Disney Parks fan who hasn’t previously considered a Disney Cruise… well, you may find that some of the NEW lounges on the Disney Treasure offer the best of both worlds! Disney shares that “These adult-only experiences will offer elevated interpretations of Disney adventures and Disney Parks attractions.” And we CAN’T WAIT…
Skipper Society
AHOY! “Beneath a tangle of untamed foliage” awaits the Skipper Society. And if you’re thinking about certain Skippers you may have encountered on a trip or two on the World Famous Jungle Cruise, you’re in the right frame of mind!
In fact, Skipper Society draws inspiration from the various iterations of the attraction from Disney destinations around the world, paying tribute to the ride with “refined nods,” along with references to the beloved Jungle Cruise Skippers whose witty one-liners truly make the attraction what it is. (And if you don’t think the same, then you’re in… DE-NILE! Ahem… moving on…)
Disney promises an “elevated, yet playful atmosphere” in which to enjoy drinks and light snacks. You won’t have to venture too far to check out the Society, as it will be located just off the Grand Hall.
Okay, Skippers, check out the Skipper Society HERE!
Periscope Pub
We’re not done yet, Explorers… the Disney Treasure will also introduce the Periscope Pub, the first Disney Cruise Line venue inspired not only by Walt Disney’s 1954 film, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” but also by the Disney Parks attraction that fans may remember with fondness in Walt Disney World (which operated from 1971 to 1994).
The Submarine-inspired setting will present “19th century steampunk influences” (think industrial bits and bobs and polished metal). But you may be even more drawn to what lurks “outside,” as seen through “a mysterious window into the mythical depths of the uncharted oceans” spanning the full ceiling!
Some craft brews, some light bites, sporting events on the TV, and a few nods to a certain GIANT SQUID… all this and more await you at the Periscope Pub!
Disney Treasure — Casual Dining
If you’ve been following — or perhaps have even sailed on — the Disney Wish, you may be familiar with Marceline Market. This food hall — named after Walt Disney’s childhood home of Marceline, Missouri — houses different food stations, here known as markets, “inspired by popular marketplaces from around the world.”
While enjoying favorite foods along with constantly-changing offerings, guests can take in ocean views from inside or from an outdoor seating area on the upper decks.
Additional casual dining options on the upper decks will feature “a festive character twist!”
Character-inspired food stations, such as we’ve seen with Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods on the Disney Wish, will serve up quick bites like pizza, ice cream, burgers, and more throughout the day and well into the evening.
Disney Treasure — Cafes and Sweet Shops
Jumbeaux’s Sweets
Zootopia’s very own ice cream parlor, Jumbeaux Café, will have its counterpart on the Disney Treasure with Jumbeaux’s Sweets!
Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde will be featured in a sculpture tribute within this “playful pink” shop featuring Victorian-style architecture.
And what’s Jumbeaux’s Sweets serving up? “Humor and heart by the cone full” in the form of more than 20 flavors of handmade gelato, 16 flavors of ice cream and sorbets, specialty treats, candies, and more.
Click HERE for more on Jumbeaux’s Sweets!
Heihei Café
Oh, HEY, Heihei! Moana’s sidekick is the inspiration for Heihei Café, a causal walk-up cafe just off the Grand Hall.
The Southern Pacific Isle of Motunui, as seen in Moana, provides the blue-water vibe, and the setting will be complete with furniture stylings paying homage to “a traditional construction technique used by the Polynesian people to craft seafaring vessels.”
Sounds like a pretty good place for your morning cup of coffee or tea, huh?
Jade Cricket Café
Another walk-up café offering coffee, tea, and more is inspired by the Fa Family’s “lucky” cricket, Cri-Kee from Mulan!
A jade sculpture on the bar top will pay tribute to Cri-Kee, while the central moon gate and plum blossom flowers serve as “symbols of Mulan’s strength, beauty and heritage,” along with counters that will remind visitors of Mulan’s armor.

Disney Treasure — Entertainment
A true hallmark of Disney Cruise Line is the onboard ENTERTAINMENT! Let’s see what the Treasure has in store…
Walt Disney Theatre
On every Disney Cruise Line ship, the Walt Disney Theatre is home to original Broadway-style shows developed exclusively for Disney Cruise Line. On the Disney Treasure, the featured productions will be fan favorites: Beauty and the Beast and Disney Seas the Adventure!
Beauty and the Beast, of course, brings Belle’s story to life with elements from both the live-action film and the classic animated feature.
Disney Seas the Adventure is an original musical production starring dear Disney and Pixar pals and featuring unforgettable Disney songs!
Captain Minnie has handed the helm of the ship over to Goofy and, well… it’s a “venture into uncharted waters” from here!
Find out more about how the Disney Treasure will ENTERTAIN YOU here!
But wait, there’s MORE… Disney shares that “More details about a third, all-new show coming to the Disney Treasure will be released soon.” We’re sure it’s bound to be an ADVENTURE!
Grand Hall
New entertainment, including shows, character encounters, and even musical performances, will be featured throughout the voyage in the Grand Hall.
This is the ship’s most prominent gathering space for all the adventurers onboard “as the story unfolds…”
Sarabi
Sarabi will serve as a central hub for both daytime activities and adult-exclusive entertainment in the evenings. Its namesake is where the lioness matriarch from Disney’s “The Lion King” dwelled, and the two-story space itself will “will evoke the natural beauty and openness of the savanna.”
Guests can look forward to Cruise Line favorites like “Match Your Mate” and “Family Time Game Show,” and “Villains Game Night” (as seen on the Disney Wish).
Hero Zone
The Hero Zone, which made its debut on the Disney Wish, is a sports and recreation venue custom-made for active family time, complete with physical challenges and game show-style competitions!
BRING YOUR A-GAME, PEOPLE…
Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas
Another Disney Cruise Line staple is the rare opportunity for passengers to catch first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and more.
These intimate screening spaces on the Disney Treasure will be the Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas.
Deck Parties
Of course, what’s a Disney Cruise without a PIRATE NIGHT?? Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party can be seen on the upper deck one night of the voyage, so get ready to gear up and party like a PIRATE!
Fireworks cap off the truly memorable evening.
Disney Treasure — Water Features and Upper Decks
Okay, we must warn you, brave adventurers, there’s a CURSE aboard the Disney Treasure… but don’t fret! You’ve got some pals to help you out here…
AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg
The Disney Wish presented the first Disney attraction AT SEA: the AquaMouse! And now, the Disney Treasure will present AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg!
AquaMouse takes guests from high above the upper decks straight into the world of animated Mickey Mouse shorts (a bit like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, but AT SEA)!
You’ll encounter Disney characters and sea creatures alike in a “wild water ride” that loops two riders at a time 760 feet around the upper deck. And the ride even takes you sailing OVER the side of the ship in a completely clear tube for some unbelievable views!
AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg will feature its own all-new storyline!
Click HERE for MORE on the AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg!
Along with the AquaMouse, the upper decks of the Disney Treasure will be comprised of three distinct districts. These will feature more water activities (including SEVEN POOLS, quick and casual dining options, and lots of places to SIMPLY RELAX).
Among the water features will be a Toy Story-themed district, like that aboard the Disney Wish, for families with toddlers and little ones, with a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide, and smoothie bar.
And adults specifically can enjoy the secluded Quiet Cove, aboard the Treasure, as well, “dedicated to lounging, sipping and soaking.” This adults-only area will feature an infinity pool, poolside bar, and a cafe.
Speaking of adults-only experiences…
Disney Treasure — Adult-Exclusive Experiences
Several adult-exclusive dining experiences are returning to the Disney Treasure!
Beauty and the Beast-Inspired Spaces
Adults are able to experience a suite of 3 adult-exclusive dining experiences inspired by Beauty and the Beast! Of-age guests can visit The Rose to sip on a before or after-dinner cocktail or choose from an extensive collection of wines and liquors.
Another signature spot is Palo Steakhouse, inspired by Cogsworth.
The menu brings both Italian fare and modern steakhouse dining to the table.
Adults may also choose to dine at Enchanté, inspired by Lumière!
Enchanté is the ship’s most elegant dining experience, with a gourmet menu created by three-Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement.
Senses Spa
“AAAAHHH…” it’s Senses Spa!
This relaxing oasis will offer extra pampering in the form of spa and beauty treatments. The space will feature private treatment rooms and spa villas, as well as steam and aromatherapy rooms. And the reimagined Senses Fitness will be complete with state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
Two more pampering places are making their way from the Disney Wish. For men, Hook’s Barbery is a twist on a traditional European men’s salon, inspired by its namesake, Captain Cook. Services include cuts, shaves, nail care, and skincare, and the spot also features a hidden bar.
And the Untangled Salon is inspired by the film Tangled. This standalone salon offers haircuts and styling, manicures and pedicures, teeth whitening, and skin treatments.
These spaces are in addition to the adult-exclusive lounges and Quiet Cove, mentioned above.
Disney Treasure for the Younger Adventurers (Kids and Teens)
From wee explorers to full-fledged teens, the Disney Treasure will offer dedicated areas featuring interactive programming for the following age groups: infants and toddlers, children, tweens and teens.
Disney’s Oceaneer Club
Here, we’ll explore what Disney’s Oceaneer Club has to offer kids, with assistance from a team of friendly Disney-trained counselors! These spaces are returning from the Disney Wish:
First, there’s the Marvel Super Hero Academy, where youngsters train to be the next generation of superheroes by learning the ropes from friends like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, and the Wasp.
Another experience is over in Fairytale Hall — a group of activity rooms themed to honor some iconic Disney ladies (who may just happen to stop by…) — Rapunzel’s Art Studio (for arts & crafts), Belle’s Library (with the chance to read and act out stories), and more.
The Oceaneer Club will also contain the Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, where kids “discover the secrets of world-renowned Disney Imagineers” through hands-on activities and experiments.
In Star Wars: Cargo Bay, kids take on the role of creature handlers and help “take care” of Star Wars creatures (think porgs, Loth-cats, and worrts… OH, MY!)!
Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck features a nautical-themed playground filled with sensory games and activities.
Jealous of the kiddos? DITTO.
Edge & Vibe
Teens and tweens have their own dedicated clubs.
The stylish Vibe is the hangout for teenagers, and the New York City loft-inspired Edge is for tweens.
It’s a Small World Nursery
It’s a Small World Nursery offers babysitting services under the care of Disney-trained counselors for the ship’s very smallest sailors.
Inspired by “The Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed,” games, crafts, movies, books and even visits from Disney friends are part of the activities.
Disney Treasure — Staterooms
Now, let’s talk about YOUR PERSONAL OASIS aboard the Disney Treasure… your Stateroom! Disney shares that the stateroom aboard the Disney Treasure will be inspired by “classic Disney tales of adventure.”
Staterooms and Concierge
1,256 staterooms will present custom artwork and design elements with nods to Disney and Pixar films, including Aladdin, Pocahontas, Up, and Encanto! Designed with families in mind, many of the staterooms will offer Disney Cruise Line’s signature split-bath concept (GENIUS!), and many will also offer the option for a connecting door for adjoining staterooms (451 connecting doors total!).
The majority of the ship’s staterooms will feature an ocean view, with 877 of the 1,256 staterooms boasting a verandah.
Passengers sailing in Concierge-level staterooms will have access to an exclusive concierge lounge with a private sun deck. Concierge-level suites will present design elements “inspired by the majestic grasslands Simba calls home” in The Lion King.
Check out the Disney Treasure Staterooms HERE
Royal Suites
Four Royal Suites will discover spaces that “bring to life the incredible character journeys – and some beloved feline sidekicks” from the films The Jungle Book, and Aladdin.
These spots will include the Bagheera Royal Suites. (yep, that’s Bagheera the panther from The Jungle Book.) They will also include the Rajah Royal Suites themed to Princess Jasmine’s loyal tiger from Aladdin.
Step inside a Royal Suite HERE!
Tomorrow Tower Suite
Are you ready for the ultimate indulgence? The Tomorrow Tower Suite “will capture the same forward-thinking mindset that inspired the Walt Disney World Resort theme park, EPCOT, with an energetic design.”
Located in the ship’s forward funnel (!!!), the Tomorrow Tower Suite will overlook the top deck of the Disney Treasure and will provide stunning views from its two-story windows.
Take a look at the design of the Tomorrow Tower Suite HERE!

This is all the best brought together. I like the signature sculpture and the animation dining. The sea fairing themes are classic Disney. This cruise and ship are probably the best experiences in decades. Disney did a phenomenal job here!

I m Disappointed. More of the same as the Wish. The Marval thing did not work, and now Disneney is repeating. 1923 is just a steak house, lol, and that does not work either. If they put Frozen in the big dining room T the back, you can be sure I will not be traveling on the Treasure my rime soon.
