Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship, Disney Destiny, Arrives in Florida

Disney Destiny, the newest cruise ship in Disney’s Wish-class, arrived in Port Canaveral early Sunday evening, November 2, 2025, after its first transatlantic crossing.

Port Canaveral officials welcomed the ship with a plaque exchange, a time-honored maritime tradition that commemorates whenever a new ship first visits a port.

Her arrival was marked with a celebratory musical selection from her horn, including an exclusive arrangement of “Go the Distance” inspired by the Broadway-style “Disney Hercules.”

Port Canaveral is currently home to two of Disney Destiny’s classmate sister ships: Disney Wish and Disney Treasure.

Disney Destiny will be christened on November 10 and will welcome her first guests in Fort Lauderdale on November 20, 2025.

The ship will be offering primarily 4- and 5-night cruises year-round from Fort Lauderdale. In addition to one or both private islands, select sailings will also visit either Nassau or Cozumel.

In June 2026, Disney Destiny is also offering a pair of 7-night cruises. The ship’s June 20 departure is a Western Caribbean sailing to visit Lookout Cay, Castaway Cay, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. The following week, the June 27 departure will visit Lookout Cay, San Juan, and St. Maarten.

Beginning in September 2026, the new ship will offer 3-night Bahamas cruises to the private islands.

Another pair of 7-night sailings is planned for December 2026 with the “Very Merrytime Cruise” theme- popular with both cruise guests and Disney fans.
