In 2025, Walt Disney will nearly double its old 4-ship fleet (Dream, Fantasy, Magic, Wonder). The Maiden Voyage was rescheduled for July 22, 2022 (postponed from June 9th) due to construction delays, but eventually departed on July 14th. The ship's ex-Port Canaveral DCL cruise program includes short break roundtrips to The Bahamas (3- and 4-night itineraries), all visiting Castaway Cay with Nassau. In the evenings, the Pool Deck hosts the "Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party" - an outdoor deck party featuring live music, DJ programming, special effects, acrobatics, and ending with a fireworks display. Untangled Salon (Beauty Parlor) and Hook’s Barbery (Barber Shop/Men’s Salon) are DCL fleet's first venues dedicated to hair- and beauty services for adults. Ship's dress code is similar to Disney's luxury resorts - daily casual and evening resort casual - men with jackets (no ties) and pants, women - with summer dresses (optional gowns).

I share tips, reviews and videos so that you can have the best Disney travel experience. Families, as you might expect, make up the bulk of passengers aboard Disney Wish. But the ship also caters every bit as well to couples without children who are looking for a premium cruise with all the big-ship bells and whistles. It's still welcome news for a film that took a big financial hit on its theatrical release. Despite being far more successful overseas -- a whopping 75% of Wish ticket sales were generated internationally -- now more of the U.S. audience that bypassed the film at the local film house has on-demand access to the film.
DCL-Disney Cruise Line's summer 2025 fleet deployment (Europe & Caribbean itineraries)
Sailing from Port Canaveral for three- and four-night itineraries to the Bahamas for the foreseeable future, Disney Cruise Line's fifth ship is a stunning departure from its sister ships, to say the least. One of the most exciting new features is the Disney Hyperspace Lounge Bar. There are 1,254 individual cabins aboard Disney Wish, most of which offer private balconies.

Every child that boards the ship receives a wishing wand to make a "first wish" of the trip and to wish again in the Grand Hall on the final night of the voyage. The latter even features a special appearance by none other than the ship's Fairy Godmother, who kicks off a farewell show. The Slide-a-Saurus Rex waterslide (water-coaster at sea) is located atop the ship and features a 765 ft (233 m) long 4-decks high transparent tube. The spinning tube reaches an incredible height of 150 ft (46 m) above sea level (there's a 42-inch / 107 cm height requirement). "Toy Story Splash Zone" is the kids' aquapark where the waterslide ends.
MS Disney Wish's construction officially started on April 8, 2021, with the keel-laying ceremony (Meyer Werft yard/hull number 705) held at Shipyard Papenburg, being the 54th cruise vessel constructed there. During the special event, the first hull block was lowered into the building dock, and, for good luck, under the keel was placed a newly minted coin that features the Disney character Captain Minnie. The coin was placed by Philip Matthew Gennotte - Executive Manager of the subsidiary Walt Disney Imagineering (Germany) GmbH.
New Broadway-style shows and entertainment
This show is a reimagined adaptation of the classic film, depicting it as a fast-paced musical comedy. For families, one of the best parts of a family cruise with Disney Cruise Line is that kids often want to go to the complimentary kids clubs. This gives grown-ups a chance to have a drink, not rush through dinner and enjoy a few moments to themselves. However, after watching (and feeling) the ship make multiple jumps to hyperspace, I can tell you this is a must-visit spot to grab a drink. You'll love sipping a space-themed cocktail at the bar while watching ships pass by — even if you don't go for the $5,000 "Star Wars" drink.

Sails To
The midship-located Grand Hall Atrium is a 3-deck high entertainment area with an open-floor design and a grand staircase. At the liner's stern (aft hull section) is painted the Disney character Rapunzel. The company's clientele consists almost entirely of North American travelers (USA and Canada). Disney's new approach to teens and young couples features age-related activities and limited access to shipboard venues, adding a really strong appeal for multi-generational cruisers.
The "Oceaneer's Lab" is maritime-themed, featuring an Animator's Studio and a small Sound Studio. The new Disney approach allows all kids ages 3-10 to access the same clubs with separate rooms and age-related activities. In late-April 2021, DCL released the first video of the "Designing the Disney Wish" series themed on the ship's design, Disney characters and special features. The hull design features Captain Minnie Mouse (bow character) and the sculpture of Rapunzel (aft/at the stern).
Ship Info
The liner's interior is designed using three classic Disney themes - fairytale castles (including for the Atrium's Grand Hall), forests and animals, and the spirit of the sea. The 3-deck high Atrium (midship-located, open-floor area) features a grand staircase, the bronze sculpture of Cinderella (at the Lobby level), and a large chandelier with thousands of crystals and a huge "wishing star" at its bottom. In fact, decks 11, 12 and 13 house so many interesting features, activities and spaces for all ages that it is entirely possible to walk right by certain things. Enchanté is an adult-exclusive restaurant onboard the Disney Wish that is themed after Beauty and the Beast.
The TRITON-class is very similar (as size and capacity) to the sisterships Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Walt Disney Imagineering Lab - Imagine what it would be like to create your own Disney attraction. Through exciting hands-on activities, children will get a unique behind-the-scenes peek and discover how Disney magic is made. The Walt Disney Theatre - Sit back and get lost in Broadway-style live shows - including Disney's Aladdin - a Musical Spectacular plus 2 all-new, original productions. I tried out Palo while on Disney Wish, and it was over-the-top amazing when it came to the service, the views and, of course, the food itself. But seriously, don't miss this dinner unless you hate "Frozen," live music and all things fun.
On embarkation night in the Walt Disney Theatre, which now has an enchanted forest design, there is a "Disney Seas The Adventure" show that stars Captain Minnie, Goofy and other Disney and Pixar characters. Lastly, there's a space made for adults seeking extra pampering beyond the spa. At the bright and airy Untangled Salon, you can treat yourself to a number of hair and nail services, including haircuts, blowouts and manicures. And at the teen club, Vibe, the decor draws inspiration from a Parisian loft, offering lots of spots to lounge, watch movies, meet new people and play games. Kids club highlights include the Oceaneer Club's Marvel Super Hero Academy, where kids can design (and virtually fly in) their own super suit.
The Royal Palace is princesses-themed with numerous portraits of "Cinderella" and the "Sleeping Beauty" movie characters (even the bread baskets are shaped like Cinderella's coach). The food quality is very good, the service staff is amicable and timely. The ship's kids clubs are the main reason for Disney's high loyalty passengers ratio. Besides all the Disney characters, innovative technologies and fun attractions, Disney children counselors are a pretty big reason many families to repeat their bookings with the company.
