Disney Believe: What’s Coming to Disney Cruise Line’s Newest Ship in 2027

Disney Cruise Line has confirmed that its newest ship, Disney Believe, will debut on December 18, 2027, sailing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ship will offer four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and Caribbean, including visits to Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

The announcement was made during an October 7 livestream aboard Disney Wish, where the cruise line shared a first look at the restaurants, entertainment, and other features planned for its fourth Wish Class ship.

Some of the biggest reveals include:

• A new Encanto musical: The first-ever stage adaptation of the film will debut exclusively aboard Disney Believe. A reimagined Tangled: The Musical and Disney Seas the Adventure will also be performed.
• A Frozen-themed restaurant: Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast will feature live music and appearances by Anna and Kristoff.
• New lounges and bars: Wishing Well will draw inspiration from Snow White, Sea Notes from The Little Mermaid, and Skygazers will be an observatory-themed pub.
• Zootopia entertainment: A new venue called Gazelle will feature a family detective show with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, along with adults-only entertainment at night.
• Moana-inspired Grand Hall: Moana, Pua, and Heihei will be featured in the ship’s main gathering space.
• Magic Kingdom Tower Suite: A two-story suite inspired by the Disney theme park will accommodate up to eight guests.

Disney previously revealed that Woody and Buzz Lightyear will be featured in a playful new stern design, while Tinker Bell will appear on the ship’s bow.

Returning venues will include 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and the Haunted Mansion Parlor.

Disney Believe bookings open October 19, 2026, for the general public. Early booking dates are:

Disney Believe is currently under construction in Germany and will join Disney Cruise Line’s growing fleet in late 2027. While many familiar Wish Class features will return, the new entertainment, dining, and themed spaces will give the ship its own identity.
