Disney Cruise Line just shared new details about their latest ship, the Disney Wish during a video that premiered over on the Disney Parks Blog. Booking for its latest ship will begin May 27, 2021.

The motif of enchantment is the foundation of the ship’s design, weaving imagination, emotion, and adventure into the vessel’s unique personality. This includes:

  • fairytale castles, emulating the classic storybook charm at the core of many enchanted tales;
  • forests and animals, bringing to life fascinating natural worlds and the animals that inhabit them; and
  • spirit of the sea, embodying the magic and mystery of the watery world below.

A wide range of stories will be represented onboard, from Disney and Pixar to Marvel and Star Wars.

The Disney Wish will feature Captain Minnie Mouse for the first time, as seen above.

“Enchantment is about unlocking the wonder in everything we do and experience,” said Laura Cabo, portfolio creative executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. “For the Disney Wish, we are creating a signature design language that exudes this emotional magic like only Disney can, by infusing every inch of this enchanted ship with more Disney stories and characters than ever before. The Disney Wish will be a place where families really do get to wish upon a star.”

On the upper decks themed to Mickey and Friends will feature AquaMouse, the first-ever Disney attraction at sea that will immerse guests in “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” animated shorts as they embark on an adventure with Mickey and Minnie.

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure will welcome guests into a castle ballroom as they celebrate the engagement of Queen Anna and Kristoff in an all-new theatrical dining experience that picks up where “Frozen 2” left off. At Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids ages 3 to 12 will be able to hang out in Anna and Elsa’s Sommerhus.

Families can join an action-packed Avengers mission at Worlds of Marvel, the first Marvel cinematic dining adventure, while kids will train to be the next generation of Super-Heroes with Spider-Man and Black Panther at Marvel Super Hero Academy.

For the first time on a Disney Cruise Line ship, guests can join the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, a high-end bar styled as a yacht-class spaceship, reserved exclusively for adults every evening.
