Disney Cruise Line is growing again, and there's another exciting new ship on the horizon! The Disney Believe will make its debut in December 2027, bringing some favorite Disney stories to life in new and imaginative ways.
The Disney Believe will be the fourth ship in Disney's Wish class, joining the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny. Each ship has its own unique theme, and the Believe celebrates the power of dreams, courage, and believing in yourself.
What's Coming Aboard the Disney Believe?
Disney has revealed some exciting details, and there's plenty to look forward to!
A Moana-Inspired Grand Hall: Guests will be welcomed into a beautiful space inspired by Moana, complete with a bronze statue of Moana alongside Pua and Hei Hei.
New Broadway-Style Entertainment: The Believe will debut the first-ever stage adaptation of Encanto, along with a reimagined production of Tangled: The Musical.
A Frozen Dining Experience: Oaken's Table: A Frozen Family Feast will bring the world of Arendelle to life with an all-new interactive dining experience.
Creative Lounges and Spaces: Look for the Snow White-inspired Wishing Well lounge, the elegant Little Mermaid-themed Sea Notes piano bar, and spaces inspired by Zootopia, Inside Out 2, and Big Hero 6.
Plenty of Fun in the Sun: Seven pools, splash areas, and the popular AquaMouse water attraction will provide plenty of opportunities for family fun.
And, of course, guests can still expect the things that make Disney Cruise Line special, including exceptional service, imaginative kids' clubs, character experiences, adult-exclusive spaces, and plenty of activities for the entire family.
Where Will the Disney Believe Sail?
The Disney Believe will sail from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, beginning with its maiden voyage on December 18, 2027.
Its inaugural season will feature four- and five-night Bahamian cruises and five-night Western Caribbean itineraries. Every sailing will include a visit to at least one of Disney's island destinations: Disney Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
When Can You Book?
Early booking opportunities for eligible Castaway Club members and other select Disney guests begin October 12, 2026, with reservations opening to the general public on October 19, 2026.
It is important to note that the December 2027 sail dates cannot be booked with a placeholder. Additionally, the maiden voyage on December 18, 2027, has some very specific booking and cancellation policies to include a non-refundable and non-transferable 10% deposit due the day of booking.
As with any new Disney ship, we expect plenty of interest in these inaugural sailings! If you're hoping to experience the Disney Believe during its first season, planning early is a great idea, especially if you have specific travel dates or stateroom preferences.
