Disney Treasure — Coming in December 2024

The Disney Treasure, which will take its Maiden Voyage with passengers on December 21, 2024, will be the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The Disney Treasure will celebrate “Walt Disney’s lifelong love of adventure,” as announced in September 2022 by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro.

D’Amaro also shared that 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. We will keep you posted on ALL the news about the Disney Treasure RIGHT HERE!

The Maiden Voyage of The Disney Treasure will be a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida, leaving on December 21, 2024. This voyage will be followed by an “inaugural season” offering seven-night sailings to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral including stops at Disney’s Castaway Cay.

Disney Destiny — Setting Sail on November 20, 2025

When the Disney Destiny joins the fleet — its first sailing with passengers is set for November 20, 2025 — she will be a sister ship (in the Wish Class) to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure. Disney has revealed that the ship will have a first-of-its-kind design theme. Aboard the Disney Destiny, you must choose a side: Heroes or Villains.

The ship’s theme will be inspired by Heroes and Villains and will draw “on the legacies of beloved Disney stories, characters, and theme park attractions.” According to Disney, Imagineers were “inspired by the dynamic duality of every great Disney story when developing this new ship, where opposing forces of light and dark drive characters to rise to their purpose.”

The Destiny will offer four and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean during her inaugural season, with voyages stopping at one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s destinations — Castaway Cay and the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. The Disney Destiny will have its home port at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

Bookings are NOW OPEN for the Disney Destiny!

Disney Cruise Line Seasonal and Special-themed Sailings

While these unique sailings feature several things in common such as exclusive Deck Parties, rare characters and/or Disney pals in special costumes, limited-time food and beverage offerings, fun-filled activities and MUCH MORE, each season or theme has its own different experiences. Therefore, we’ve dedicated this page to these special sailings so you can learn more about each one.

Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club

Voyagers on Disney Cruise Line are automatically enrolled in the Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club! This loyalty program rewards returning passengers with at-home and onboard benefits on their future cruises with Disney. These benefits include early booking for newly released sailings (ahead of the general public) and early access to booking ship experiences and port arrival times, as well as exclusive member communications and “welcome back aboard” gifts and more!

The Castaway Club offers tiered memberships, with benefits increasing along with the number of voyages:

• Silver Members (have completed one sailing*)
• Gold Members (have completed five sailings*)
• Platinum Members (have completed ten sailings*)
• Pearl Members (have completed twenty-five sailings*)

Please Note: Though enrollment into the Castaway Club is automatic, the Disney Cruise Line website states that: “To remain in the program, Castaway Club Members must book or sail on at least one eligible cruise within 5 years of their last Disney voyage.”

DisneyBand+ — Now on Select Disney Cruise Line Ships!

If you’ve been to Disney World, you’re probably already familiar with MagicBand+ technology. Not only can you use MagicBand+ to unlock your hotel room, pay for purchases, and scan into parks, but you can also use it to interact with elements like fireworks shows inside the parks. Well, a very similar technology is currently rolling out on Disney Cruise Line ships.

DisneyBand+ is basically a MagicBand+ you can use on Disney cruises. It allows cruisers to unlock their stateroom doors as well as pay for purchases.

Kids can use their DisneyBand+ to access kids’ clubs on the ship, like the Oceaneer Club and Scuttle’s Cove at Castaway Cay. (They can use the new band instead of the Oceaneer Club band.) DisneyBand+ can also be used with PhotoPass photographers on the ships to link those photos to their stateroom, making it easy to view and purchase photos. DisneyBand+ also interacts with elements on the ship, much like MagicBand+ interacts with elements in Disney parks.

Click HERE to learn more about DisneyBand+!

DisneyBand+ is currently in use on the Disney Wish and the Disney Fantasy and will continue to rollout to the other ships in the fleet. Disney Cruise Line shares that “DisneyBand+ designs may be limited on board—so be sure to purchase in advance to shop the full variety of available bands.” Passengers “will be able to order a DisneyBand+ by visiting My Reservations between 11 and 45 days of their sail date” if paid in full. Those who purchase a DisneyBand+ in advance will also get a $10 discount.

PLEASE NOTE: Stateroom Cards will still be available to cruisers who want them and they will still work aboard ships. Additionally, if you already have a MagicBand+ that you love, you can bring that along instead of buying a new DisneyBand+, and it will work, too.
