About the Triton Class Fleet
- The Disney Destiny is the third vessel in Disney Cruise Line’s highly successful Triton class, known for its innovative design and liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion.
- The first ship in this class was the Disney Wish, which had its maiden voyage in July 2022. It introduced a new fairytale castle-inspired design motif, with Cinderella as its signature Grand Hall statue, and new experiences like the AquaMouse water attraction and Worlds of Marvel dining.
- The second ship was the Disney Treasure, which set sail in December 2024. Themed to adventure, its Grand Hall features a statue of Aladdin, Jasmine, and Magic Carpet. The ship continued to build on the Triton class platform with unique spaces like the Skipper Society lounge, inspired by the Jungle Cruise attraction.
- The Disney Destiny continues this tradition with a first-of-its-kind "Heroes and Villains" theme. While a Grand Hall themed to Blank Panther, the ship promises to honor the epic journeys of beloved Disney characters, from the courageous to the cunning.
- A fourth, yet-unnamed Triton-class ship is also under construction, set to further expand the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
