Now streaming on Disney+, set sail on a brand-new adventure as Season 3 of Behind the Attraction charts a bold course into the world of Disney Cruise Line. In this special two-episode event, the series turns its focus to the storytelling, innovation, and immersive experiences that have helped redefine vacations at sea.
The journey begins with the story of Disney Cruise Line itself. From its earliest sailings to its continued expansion, the first episode explores how Disney reimagined the classic ocean-liner experience through signature service, attention to detail, and storytelling woven into every aspect of the voyage. Listen to those who were there from the beginning like Former Imagineer and Disney Legend Wing Chao, who led the design of Disney Cruise Line’s first two ships, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. Dive into the engineering marvel of how Disney cruise ships are built from the ground up!
The story then turns toward the future with a dedicated episode on the Disney Destiny, the latest chapter in Disney Cruise Line’s evolution. Inspired by the timeless dynamic between heroes and villains, the Disney Destiny introduces a new thematic direction—one where design and adventure come together in entirely new ways. From early concepts and Imagineering innovation to the creation of unforgettable guest experiences, the episode reveals how this ship was brought to life.
Here is what Founder and CEO of The Nacelle Company, Brian Volk-Weiss, who executive produced and directed the series had to say about the experience.
“It has been the honor and utter joy of my career to work with Disney on Behind the Attraction. To be given the trust of Disney Cruise Line to tell their incredible story in season 3, alongside the brilliant imagineers and crew, has been beyond anything I could have expected in this blessed career. As someone who’s been going to Disney parks since I was 3, sailing the seas on some of the greatest cruise ships on the planet, from the Disney Magic to the Disney Destiny, has been as exciting as the pure bliss we feel adding another chapter to the Behind the Attraction universe of stories.”
Executive Producer of the series and co-Founder and co-CEO of Seven Bucks Productions, Dany Garcia, says, “Disney has always understood that storytelling becomes even more magical when people are invited into its universe for an experience, and Disney Cruise Line is a remarkable example of that vision. As producers, we were drawn to the incredible ingenuity and design that transformed an idea into a defining fleet. Some of my family’s most meaningful memories were created aboard Disney cruises, and this season shines a light on the innovation and craftsmanship that have made those moments possible for families across generations.”
