DCL's announcement included that during the ship's naming ceremony, the Make-A-Wish children will recite the traditional blessings for the vessel. The Disney-Make-A-Wish partnership also includes creating and selling fleetwide Disney-themed merchandise, with 10% of the profits donated to the Foundation. DCL's TRITON liners have LOA length 341 m (1119 ft), making them the fleet's longest. By GT tonnage/volume (~144,000 tons each) and passenger capacity (2500 / max 3500), the newbuilds are similarly sized as the sisterships Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, but LNG-powered (by liquefied natural gas) and with more and new facilities and amenities.

If you want one of the specialty coffees or other premium drinks prepared at the restaurant’s “cafe,” you’ll need to pay separately for those. Pretty much everybody knows that one of the biggest draws on any cruise ship is the food. The Disney Wish is no exception, with three outstanding main dining restaurants, two elegant adult-only dining options, and plenty of places to grab a quick meal or a snack on the go. Shorter cruises aboard Disney Wish attract younger kids due to the length of time and lower price point, while longer sailings tend to involve multigenerational families and friends traveling together.

For the kids: The Oceaneer Club

Once you book a cruise on the Disney Wish, everything is taken care of, from transportation to and from the port, to every last comfy detail in your stateroom, freeing up your time to make lasting memories. Of note, The Rose is a chic lounge at the entrance of Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté. Describe the cabins.My two friends and I stayed in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, which has a queen bed and a single convertible sofa, as well as a single pull-down bed; plenty of space for three women.

Cabins on Disney Wish Offer Space for All and Enchanted Decor

New Orleans-inspired cocktails and refreshments are served up in this informal lounge inspired by the magical marsh Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. Among the magnolia blossoms and twinkling fireflies, you’ll find live musical performances and other events. The lounge was a bit tough to get into, thanks in part to its small size and big popularity. When our reviewers visited, there was no reservation system in place and instead it was necessary to wait one’s turn.

You can expect to take that jump through hyperspace to a different part of the galaxy every seven minutes or so. Take a look at this exclusive videofor a special glimpse at the all-new storytelling, one-of-a-kind entertainmentand innovative “firsts” your family will experience aboard our stunning newship. Following in the footsteps of onboard interactive experiences such as Midship Detective Agency (onboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy), Disney Uncharted Adventure is a new first-of-its kind experience that takes classic Disney storytelling to new heights. Enjoy pipe slides, ship’s wheels, activities and games, and even an occasional visit from Captains Mickey and Minnie. Our reviewers noted that while the Hyperspace Lounge was impressive, you might not feel like you have to go back every night… many travelers will probably enjoy it as more of a one-off experience once on their cruise.

Disney Wish

Anika Noni Rose (voice actor for the character Tiana in "The Princess and the Frog"/2009 animated musical film) performed live singing along with characters from the movies Toy Story, Frozen, Marvel, Star Wars. On July 15, 2017, Disney Cruise Line/DCL officially announced the company's plans to build 3 new vessels in Germany, at Meyer Werft's Papenburg Shipyard. The so exciting for all Mickey Mouse fans announcement was made by Bob Chapek (Walt Disney Parks and Resorts company's Chairman). Bookings on Disney Wish cruises were opened on May 17, 2021 (for Castaway Club members) and on May 27th (to general customers). Disney's 35-minute youtube video production released on April 29, 2021, revealed the following signature features of DCL Disney Wish.

Disney Wish: Everything we know about Disney's newest cruise ship, set to sail in 2022

For dinner, enjoy a six-course prix-fixe offering, or select from à la carte items such as Caviar, Wild Halibut, or Maine Lobster. Menu offerings are rather limited, with a focus on artisanal quality rather than broad quantity. There’s still a gigantic kids club area that takes up almost an entire deck, but it’s much more intricately themed than prior offerings. Families, as you might expect, make up the bulk of passengers aboard Disney Wish.

The unique outdoor relaxation area sets it apart from the Senses Spas onboard any other Disney Ship. It easily ranked as one of their top three experiences onboard, and our review crew couldn’t stop raving about it. A nearby snack bar sells popcorn, candy, and soft drinks (for an additional charge). Pirate Night holds a place of honor on many Disney Cruise itineraries, and the Disney Wish is no exception. And once again, Disney Wish’s version seems to add just a little extra to the experience you find onboard the other ships.

Disney has positioned the AquaMouse as its first ever “attraction at sea,” but it’s important to remember that the logistics of being onboard a cruise ship mean you shouldn’t expect a Pirates of the Caribbean caliber attraction. Inspired by Beauty and the Beast‘s Cogsworth, Palo Steakhouse is a bit different from the Palo restaurant that is already well-known onboard the four prior Disney cruise ships. This version takes the Italian cuisine concept and elevates it into a steakhouse. This restaurant offers a dining experience steeped in the golden age of Hollywood. Named after the year the Disney brothers founded their first studio, you’ll enjoy the flavors of California while surrounded by relics reminiscent of the early days of animation.

As the most discerning, up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel, Condé Nast Traveler is the global citizen’s bible and muse, offering both inspiration and vital intel. We understand that time is the greatest luxury, which is why Condé Nast Traveler mines its network of experts and influencers so that you never waste a meal, a drink, or a hotel stay wherever you are in the world. Activities on Castaway Cay vary from snorkeling and a 5k running and walking course to boat rentals and Pelican Plunge, a 2,400 square foot elating platform complete with water-play area and two waterslides.

The list of places to eat aboard Disney Wish is actually even longer than the three previously mentioned rotational dining restaurants. When it's your turn to dine in the Worlds of Marvel restaurant, which is the first-ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, you'll have a role to play in saving the universe. As you eat at one of the 120 tables, you'll have access to a "quantum core" to use throughout your meal. However, after watching (and feeling) the ship make multiple jumps to hyperspace, I can tell you this is a must-visit spot to grab a drink. You'll love sipping a space-themed cocktail at the bar while watching ships pass by — even if you don't go for the $5,000 "Star Wars" drink. And if all of that isn't enough, there are four royal suites with a "Sleeping Beauty" theme, two of which feature a wild, two-story floor plan.

In 2025, Walt Disney will nearly double its old 4-ship fleet (Dream, Fantasy, Magic, Wonder). Also new for the DCL fleet are the "quick food" bars "Marceline Market" and "Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods". The "Wish Tower Suite" is the DCL's (and the industry's) first-of-its-kind loft suite located in the ship's forward funnel (smokestack).

But some of those individual categories include never-before-seen rooms like a Tower Suite that’s actually located inside one of the giant red funnels (smokestacks) on top of the ship. Disney had cruise ship designs drawn up by February 1994.[29] Disney Cruise Line in 1995 ordered Disney Magic and Disney Wonder from Fincantieri in Italy. The ship was built in two halves with the bow built at Fincatieri's Ancona shipyard and the stern at their Marghera shipyard. A Disney cruise is not complete without indulging in relaxing body and face treatments. While all other Disney Cruise Line ships include a SPA area, only on Disney Wish guests could explore the first outdoor recreational areas with hot tubs and open-air fitness classes. It’s not simply dinner and a cocktail situation at the Disney Wish Cruise.
