Disney Treasure Review: What to Expect on the New Disney Ship
"A brand-new ship in Disney Cruise Line’s Wish class inspires a sense of adventure, evoking stories like "Aladdin," "Moana," and "Coco" with immersive experiences, themed décor, and tiny details throughout. The soaring Grand Hall is a frequent hub for magical encounters — from spotting Jasmine and Aladdin near their statues to stumbling on a character dance party and joining the Fab Six — and the ship’s entertainment is a standout: nightly Broadway-caliber productions include "Disney Seas the Adventure," "Beauty and the Beast," and the all-new "Disney The Tale of Moana" ("Disney The Tale of Moana" is only available on this ship), the latter featuring the beloved soundtrack with songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, larger-than-life puppets, breathtaking projections, massive set pieces, and delightful surprises. Accommodations total 1,256 staterooms (inside cabins, ocean-view rooms, family verandah rooms, concierge-level suites, and over-the-top Royal Suites), highlighted by the two-story Tomorrow Tower Suite inside the ship’s iconic red forward funnel with Epcot-inspired design (keep an eye out for Figment), while family Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah sleep up to five with a queen, a convertible sofa, a pull-down ceiling bed, and a wall pull-down bed; separate toilet and shower rooms and ample storage make mornings easier. Dining centers around three main rotational dinner venues — 1923 (an elegant Hollywood Golden Age–inspired room with animation artwork), Worlds of Marvel (an interactive, MCU-inspired experience), and Plaza de Coco (an immersive musical dining experience that "picks up where the movie left off"); note that Worlds of Marvel and Plaza de Coco present different shows each night, so if you plan to skip a dinner night, consider missing one of your 1923 seatings. Two adults-only, fee-based restaurants offer refined dining: Enchanté, a Beauty-and-the-Beast–themed fine-dining experience created by chef Arnaud Lallement of L'Assiette Champenoise (which has held three Michelin stars for a decade) — splurge on the tasting menu — and Palo Steakhouse (dinner and brunch); The Rose lounge sits at their shared entrance. Casual options include Marceline Market (buffet), Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods (walk-up stands with barbecue, Tex-Mex, pizza, chicken fingers), specialty coffees at Jade Cricket Cafe, Heihei Cafe, and Cove Cafe ("iced Vietnamese coffee for me, please!"), and Jumbeaux’s Sweets ("Zootopia"-themed, more than 30 flavors of homemade gelato). Bars and lounges are richly themed: the Haunted Mansion Parlor is filled with Easter eggs from the classic attraction, Skipper Society channels Jungle Cruise quirkiness, Periscope Pub evokes "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (with fish overhead recorded in Epcot’s The Seas with Nemo and Friends), and Scat Cat Lounge is an upscale piano bar with imaginative cocktails (including one garnished with half a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich). The ship uses rotational dining so servers stay with you each night (shout out to Josette and Nelson for consistently great service). Deckside amenities include multiple pools, a Toy Story splash area, the AquaMouse water attraction, the Hero Zone (air hockey and a massive inflatable obstacle course), Wonderland and Never Land cinemas, and a sleek fitness center with classes; spa and salon offerings include Senses Spa & Salon, Hook’s Barbery, and Untangled Salon, and the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is available for children. Kids' clubs are highly immersive and segmented by age: The Hideaway (older teens/young adults), The Vibe (teens 14+), Edge (tweens 11–14), the "It’s a Small World" Nursery (six months–3 years), and Disney’s Oceaneer Club (ages 3–10) with Marvel Super Hero Academy, Star Wars: Cargo Bay, Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, and Fairytale Hall (kids can even slide down into the club from the Grand Hall). Adults-only options include the Quiet Cove Pool and adults-only dining and bars. Accessibility features include accessible staterooms (including communication staterooms for guests with hearing disabilities), additional special equipment upon request, ASL interpreters available on request, and beach wheelchairs at Castaway Cay; a full list of accommodations is available on the cruise line website. The ship sails seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Port Canaveral with stops at Disney’s private island, Disney Castaway Cay, and seasonal Halloween and holiday cruises; the cruise line is rapidly expanding its fleet ("This is an unprecedented era of growth for Disney Experiences, and a dramatic period of expansion at Disney Cruise Line," said Josh D’Amaro), with plans to have 13 ships by 2031 and a next ship in the class scheduled to debut in November 2025. Don't miss the show and fireworks on Pirate Night and the farewell show in the Grand Hall on the final night, where guests can hug their favorite characters one last time." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.
