Disney Christens Destiny in Fort Lauderdale Ahead of Nov. 20 Maiden Voyage

The Wish-class vessel centers on a unified Heroes & Villains narrative featuring ship‑exclusive shows and lounges.

Overview

  • Disney held a high‑energy christening at Port Everglades with a drone show and on‑ship projections, where Susan Egan served as godmother and Josh D’Amaro and Joe Schott delivered remarks.
  • Media previews highlight interactive Grand Hall programming that cycles through experiences such as a Wakanda tribute, a Loki takeover, a playful retelling of Sleeping Beauty, and a reflective send‑off.
  • New themed venues include De Vil’s piano bar, the Pirates of the Caribbean‑inspired Cask & Cannon, Doctor Strange’s Sanctum, and the two‑story Saga hub, alongside a richly detailed Haunted Mansion Parlor with attraction nods and bespoke cocktails.
  • Cafe Megara showcases Hercules‑themed design touches like lightning‑bolt lighting, Mount Olympus motifs, Pegasus details, and specialty coffees with character latte art.
  • Beginning Nov. 20, the ship will run four‑ and five‑night Bahamas and Western Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale, debuting a Hercules stage show, Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King dining, a Spider‑Man stern tableau, and a new villains storyline on the AquaMouse ride.
