Hero Minnie Heralds the First Float Out of the Disney Destiny

Disney Cruise Line's latest ship will set sail on its maiden voyage this November.

A huge milestone was reached for Disney Cruise Line’s latest ship today as the Disney Destiny floated out of the shipyard in Germany for the first time.

What’s Happening:

  • One of two new ships set to debut later this year, the Disney Destiny marked a huge milestone today when it left the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany for the first time, and floated out into the harbor.
  • Minnie, wearing her fabulous hero costume created just for this ship, greeted the heroes and villains-themed ship as it inched aft-first out of the yard, led by Spider-Man and his Spider Bots on the stern.
  • Float out is a significant milestone in the construction process and time-honored maritime tradition, meaning the ship is one step closer to setting sail for the first time.

More on the Disney Destiny:

  • The Disney Destiny will sail its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in November 2025, followed by an inaugural season of four and five-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, including visits to one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
  • Yesterday, Disney shared a new look into The Sanctum, a lounge inspired by the iconic Sanctum Sanctorum as seen in Doctor Strange and other Marvel films.
