Disney Destiny to Launch from Fort Lauderdale in 2025

Disney Cruise Line’s new ship, Disney Destiny, will offer four- and five-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades during its debut season.

According to the cruise line’s schedule, the LNG-powered vessel will sail on a series of short trips to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean, starting November 20, 2025.

The inaugural four-night voyage will take guests to the Bahamas, featuring stops at Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, along with a day at sea. Most itineraries during the ship’s first season will include visits to one or both of these private islands, with some also stopping in Nassau.

Through May 2026, the Disney Destiny will operate a range of cruises, including 10 sailings to the Western Caribbean. These five-night voyages will include stops in Castaway Cay and Cozumel, Mexico.

Currently being built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, Disney Destiny is the third ship in a series that includes Disney Wish, launched in 2022, and Disney Treasure, set to debut in 2024. Themed around Disney’s heroes and villains, the ship will feature unique onboard experiences, such as a Cruella de Vil-inspired piano lounge and a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed pub.

Bookings for the maiden season opened on September 6 for members of Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Club, with general bookings available starting September 12.
