It’s time to come aboard Disney Cruise Line’s new ship, the Disney Treasure! Before it sets sail on its inaugural voyage out across the sea, chart a course for the very first photos of the majestic new vessel. You’re among the first to see where all Disney Cruise guests begin their vacation: the Grand Hall, or as we like to think of it – our palace on the seas. The Grand Hall embodies the ship’s theme of adventure and draws on real-world influences from Asia and Africa, as well as the enchanting land of Agrabah from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film, “Aladdin.”
Disney Details Found in the Grand Hall on the Disney Treasure
True to Disney Cruise Line tradition, the Disney Treasure features a unique character statue that brings the ship’s theme to life.
At the heart of the Grand Hall is a life-size bronze statue of Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Magic Carpet, right at the base of the grand staircase. Surrounding this iconic statue, are even more details found throughout the Grand Hall that are inspired by “Aladdin” and represent the film’s spirit of adventure. Nearby the statue, you’ll spot the magic lamp. The Grand Hall’s intricate carpet evokes the fountain in Jasmine’s courtyard and also features animals you’ll see in the film including Aladdin’s mischievous monkey sidekick Abu, Jasmine’s birds, the golden scarab beetle, and more.
Entertainment Experiences in the Grand Hall on the Disney Treasure
The Grand Hall also becomes a dynamic theater that offers incredible entertainment experiences, character encounters and interactions with special storytellers – the Treasure “Sea”kers – who perform short retellings of classic Disney stories.
Just like onboard the Disney Treasure, the Grand Hall is just the beginning of our adventure through the ship today! Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more details about the new spaces onboard, and head to DisneyCruise.com to learn more about upcoming itineraries on the Disney Treasure!
