Disney Cruise Line officially confirmed the name of one of their newest ships, the Disney Destiny. As with the recent Disney Wish, it was confirmed that Minnie Mouse will proudly emblazon the bow of the new upcoming ship.
Here’s what we know so far about the Disney Destiny…
Heroes and Villains Theme
The design theme of the Disney Destiny, sister to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, will be “Heroes and Villains,” drawing on the legacy of beloved Disney stories, characters and theme park attractions, to forge a cruise vacation that will empower guests to embrace their own calling aboard every unforgettable voyage.
Onboard, guests will encounter heroes and villains alike — including those from beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios stories like THE LION KING, HERCULES, and ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS —within the spaces, experiences and entertainment throughout their voyage.
Super Hero Minnie
To embody the theme, Disney also unveiled brand-new filigree artwork for the bow of the Disney Destiny, continuing a beloved Disney Cruise Line design tradition. The illustration depicts Minnie Mouse striking a valiant pose in a heroic ensemble, her cape waving majestically in the sea breeze as she boldly leads guests toward their vacation destinies.
The news comes on a significant construction milestone on the Disney Destiny marked by the traditional keel laying ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. During a ship’s construction, when the first block, or section of a ship, is lowered into the building dock, a newly minted coin is placed under the keel for good fortune. The coin created for the Disney Destiny features Minnie Mouse in the same heroic pose as the ship’s bow artwork.
Captain Minnie Mouse originally made a big splash in 2019 as part of a collection of initiatives aiming to inspire the next generation of female leaders in the cruise industry. And with Captain Minnie at the helm of the Disney Wish, the hope is to continue inspiring girls and young women around the globe!
