If you’re looking to be the main character of your own vacation, a sailing on the Disney Destiny just might be calling your name. Disney Cruise Line’s new ship celebrates the legendary worlds and larger-than-life heroes and villains at the heart of Disney Animation, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, and Disney Parks stories, with thrilling adventures at every turn and an incredible array of entertainment that will inspire you to embrace your own destiny.
Every venue is a stage onboard the ship, with extraordinary entertainment for the whole family including deck parties, live music and encounters with your favorite characters — heroes and villains alike. The Walt Disney Theatre is the ultimate destination to experience heroic stories onboard Disney cruise ships, offering Broadway-style entertainment that takes families on a journey through their favorite Disney tales throughout the sailing.
Let’s take a look at the stage shows onboard the Disney Destiny for your own hero’s quest.
Disney Hercules
The new Broadway-style stage show, exclusively onboard the Disney Destiny, “Disney Hercules,” brings a hero’s adventure to the Walt Disney Theatre like never before. This retelling of the classic Walt Disney Animation Studios film is a party from the very start with the iconic music and characters we know and love, presented in an all-new way. And that’s the gospel truth!
True to the spirit of the film, the fabulous Muses guide us through the story, singing all of your favorite songs in spectacular renditions that will have you dancing along, with the full soulfulness of gospel music and the over-the-top energy of a concert.
As you’re guided through the mythological world of ancient Greece, you’ll experience all-new, towering puppetry starting with Hercules’ battle of the multi-headed Hydra as the monster seemingly takes over the entire theater. Then, you’ll find yourself looking up — way up — during the hero’s final battle between the larger-than-life Titans of the Underworld as the monsters storm the stage with Disney Cruise Line’s debut of Disney’s patented exoskeleton technology.
I expect to see a few inspired guests in Senses Fitness after Hercules shows strength worthy of Mount Olympus! Or, if you’ve discovered your own inner Muse, I hope to see you try your hand at karaoke in Saga.
Disney Seas the Adventure
On the first night of your cruise, settle into your sailing by heading to the Walt Disney Theatre, where you’ll fly through classic Disney and Pixar stories in “Disney Seas the Adventure.”
The story is timed to your cruise, taking place on the very first night of a brand-new Disney Cruise Line voyage. Captain Minnie Mouse asks Goofy to help her steer the ship while she plans a special project, and as Goofy learns to keep the ship on course, he takes us on a special journey across classic Disney and Pixar stories, meeting beloved characters and singing your favorite songs along the way. Keep your eyes peeled throughout the show, because dancers, puppets, and special effects move from the stage into the aisles and around the entire theater as Goofy travels through these special stories.
The show’s finale will bring you to your feet as you celebrate Captain Minnie’s special surprise, all with a shower of sparkling confetti and an exhilarating chorus that will inspire you to “Try Everything!”
Frozen: A Musical Spectacular
I hope the cold never bothered you, because a chill falls into the Walt Disney Theatre as the curtain rises on the third show of your sailing, “Frozen: A Musical Spectacular.” This exclusive, Broadway-style retelling of the Disney Animation blockbuster is a Disney Cruise Line fan favorite, now gracing the Disney Destiny’s stage with its frozen fractals all around.
Follow Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf through a beautiful journey across Arendelle with dazzling renditions of beloved songs and spectacular puppetry that brings your favorite characters to life like never before. I hope everyone will join me in singing along to “In Summer” with Olaf!
Beyond the Walt Disney Theatre
While the Walt Disney Theatre houses these tremendous tales brought to stage, you’ll discover classic Disney entertainment all over the Disney Destiny.
Be sure not to miss the festivities on the upper decks, from the magical sail away party to the raucous Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party during pirate night, complete with fireworks at sea. Dinner comes with a show in Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King, the all-new theatrical dining experience celebrating the stunning soundtrack of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Lion King with live musical performances.
These are just a few of the unforgettable entertainment and character encounters you’ll find throughout the entire ship as you experience your very own heroic adventure onboard the Disney Destiny.
