Disney Cruise Ships By Size (2024) Biggest to Smallest

Disney Cruise Line began in 1998 with one ship, the Disney Magic. When all ships are completed in 2025, the cruise line will have a fleet of eight ships. Stepping aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship is such a unique experience and offers an authentic Disney experience at sea. These ships provide amenities, shows, and an ambiance that no other brand offers, so it is great to see the brand expanding its fleet in recent years.

We compared every aspect of Disney's largest and smallest cruise ships. Here's what it's like to sail on each.

Jill sailed on the Disney Magic, the Disney Cruise Line's original and smallest cruise ship.
Amanda sailed on the Disney Wish, the company's newest and biggest ship.
Our writers compared the cabins, restaurants, entertainment, and overall experiences on both.

Jill and her family rode on the Magic, the oldest and smallest ship in Disney's fleet.

Disney's oldest ship, the Magic , first set sail in 1998. The boat measures 984 feet long, and can hold up to 2,713 passengers in 875 staterooms — making it the smallest cruise ship in Disney's current fleet.

The ship has three themed restaurants and is focused on a lot of Disney's original staple characters, like Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy.

Each Disney cruise ship has a bronze statue of a character in the atrium. Since this is the original Disney cruise ship, the Magic's statue is Mickey Mouse dressed as a helmsman steering the wheel of his ship.

In another nod to the originals, Goofy can be found painting on the stern of the Disney Magic.

Amanda rode on the Wish, Disney's biggest and newest ship.

The Disney Wish officially set sail for the first time in 2022. The boat measures 1,119 feet long, and can hold up to 4,000 passengers in 1,254 staterooms — making it the biggest cruise ship in Disney's current fleet.

It's also unique in representing all of Disney's entities: classic princesses, Mickey Mouse and his crew, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel.

The characters can be found through more than 4,000 art pieces onboard, three themed restaurants that are included in the cruise, and Disney's first theme-park attraction found on a boat.

In the main lobby of the Disney Wish, you'll find a bronze statue of Cinderella with her furry friends around her and a glass slipper nearby. In front of the boat, Rapunzel is hanging from her hair while painting the stern.

Jill, her husband, and her two kids set sail on the Disney Magic for $2,570.

One reason I booked this trip is because my goal is to go on all five Disney Cruise ships before the upcoming Disney Treasure is scheduled for delivery in 2024.

I snagged a last-minute booking on the Magic and selected a standard inside stateroom for myself, my husband, and two 12-year-old sons. This was the cheapest option for a stateroom at the time of booking.

We paid $2,570 for a three-night cruise out of Miami. This price included dining and onboard activities and entertainment .

I splurged on a massage and champagne tasting, but otherwise focused on keeping spending at a minimum.

After a few boarding issues, Amanda and her sister set sail on the Disney Wish for $2,707.52.

My journey to experience the Disney Wish wasn't an easy one.

Shortly after I booked a trip on one of the first Disney Wish sailings for June 2022, Disney canceled because the ship's construction wasn't complete.

I then rescheduled for a date in July, but was denied boarding when my sister tested positive for COVID-19 at the port .

Luckily, I made it onto the ship for a three-day cruise to the Bahamas in early September. My sister and I opted for the cheapest accommodation — an inside stateroom with no window — and paid $2,707.52 for our trip .

We also chose not to purchase any add-ons — like spa services or island excursions — and didn't eat at any signature restaurants where you have to pay for your meals.

This was Jill's first time staying in an inside stateroom.

An inside stateroom has no window and shares three walls with other staterooms.

Fortunately, we received an automatic upgrade to a deluxe inside stateroom, which gave us an extra 30 square feet and a split bathroom . The value of the upgrade was $47.

The stateroom attendant cleaned each morning and did a turndown service at night, converting the couch to bunk beds. Evening turndown service included chocolates and a different towel animal every night.

Amanda said her stateroom felt fit for a princess despite being small.

Our room was decorated with "Cinderella" decor and truly felt fit for a princess — even if it had no window and was small, measuring 169 square feet.

Like Jill experienced on her cruise, staff cleaned our room each morning and turned it down at night with chocolates and towel animals.

Jill was surprised by how much space they actually had.

Room 2601 had a closet, a narrow chest of drawers, and an under-the-bed storage space for suitcases. There were also drawers inside the desk, on either side of the bed, and in the bathroom.

Amanda's room was the perfect size for two people.

The queen bed easily fit two people, though you could also choose to sleep on the pullout couch for more room.

There was also plenty of space for our luggage both under the bed and in the many cabinets and closets located across from the sleeping area.

Jill's stateroom was narrow, but there was enough room for a family who spent little time there.

The space that felt the most narrow was the area between the bed and the dresser. I liked our location on the second deck because we could go up one flight of stairs and be where all the action was.

Amanda was especially impressed with the bathroom, which felt luxurious for being so tiny.

It was brightly lit with multiple shelves, provided toiletries, and even had a small tub inside.

I'm not sure that we would have loved the stateroom if we were traveling with more people, but for two of us, it was the perfect size.

Jill could choose from three restaurants on the Disney Magic.

The Disney Magic has three main restaurants that are part of Disney Cruise Line's rotational dining system.

Guests are assigned a team of servers, and the servers rotate through the various restaurants with the passengers. Since my family sailed on a three-night cruise, we visited each of the restaurants — Rapunzel's Royal Table, Lumiere's, and Animator's Palette — once.

Passengers could choose between main seating — 5:45 p.m. — and second seating — 8:00 p.m. — but we chose the latter. We always pick this time because I don't think early dining offers enough transition time between day and evening activities.

All menus had a "lighter fare" section with a salad, and plainer foods, such as basic steak and chicken. There were also vegetarian options. Each dessert menu also offered a no-sugar-added option and a different sundae each night. My husband is a huge fan of ice cream, so it was fun to see the different sundae concoctions at each meal.

Amanda also had three options on the Wish.

Like other Disney ships, there are three rotational restaurants on board. Guests are assigned a specific restaurant each night of their cruise, and they remain with the same guests and servers at their table.

As for menu options, there are simple dishes for light meals, vegetarian snacks, full courses, and more dessert than you could eat in one sitting.

We had the same two seating options to choose from and we had to choose the latter. The earlier option was filled when we booked the trip.

That said, we ended up preferring the later option. We didn't find ourselves hungry until later in the day because we snacked so much at buffets, and the later spot gave us more time to participate in activities.

Jill's family enjoyed Rapunzel's Royal Table, the Magic's "Tangled"-themed restaurant.

Rapunzel's Royal Table had a ceiling aglow with the sun-embossed lanterns that are the hallmark of the movie the restaurant is named for.

The menu was mostly heavy, German-inspired fare, such as pretzel bread, cream soups, roasted chicken, and prime rib. Sadly, this was my least-favorite menu at the rotational restaurants because it was so heavy, and the dishes weren't plated nicely.

Still, the atmosphere and entertainment made up for it.

Rapunzel's Royal Table dinner entertainment includes skits and songs. The finale was Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder singing their signature ballad as the servers filed through the restaurant with lanterns. My family enjoyed the singing even though we were seated at the rear of the dining room and couldn't see much of the show.

Jill's family also ate at Lumiere's, a traditional, French-inspired restaurant named for the candlestick from "Beauty and the Beast."

The "Beauty and the Beast" theming was so subtle it was almost nonexistent, but I enjoyed the classic, slightly formal atmosphere.

The menu featured tons of French-style dishes, like escargot gratinés, iced lobster and jumbo shrimp, chateaubriand, and crème brûlée.

Lastly, Jill's family visited the Animator's Palette.

Animator's Palette is animation themed, with rudimentary black-and-white drawings on the walls that take shape with more color and detail as dinner progresses.

My favorite menu items were the ginger-dusted Angus beef teriyaki filet with wasabi mashed potatoes, black-truffle pasta pursiettes, and the butternut-squash soup.

Dinner entertainment was animation magic. Upon being seated, guests were given a coloring sheet and markers and instructed to create their stick figure style drawing.

The waiters collected the sheets, which magically turned into animated characters who moved, danced, jumped, and interacted with Disney favorites on the big screens around the restaurant.

Amanda had a decent experience at The Worlds of Marvel restaurant.

The Worlds of Marvel restaurant celebrates Ant-Man, the Wasp, and other beloved superheroes.

It's originally dark and moody inside, but later lights up with neon lights, giant TV screens, and Quantum Core technology located on each table.

The food is also unique and entirely inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Dishes include steamed-bao buns, "Wakandan" salads, steak, and more.

Though I enjoyed eating there, the restaurant wasn't my favorite. I'm not a huge Marvel fan, and I would only order one of the dishes I ate — the Golden Mystic pasta — again. The entertainment was also mostly shown on a screen, which made it feel less special.

Amanda was blown away by the Wish's Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

The Disney Wish is also home to Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

From the minute you step inside, you feel as though you've been transported into the animated franchise. Each room is decorated to look like ones seen on screen, and musicians play fan-favorite songs in the middle of the room.

Characters like Oaken, Anna, Elsa, and even Olaf are also present during the Norwegian-inspired dinner. Our table indulged in Frozen Fractal cocktails, scallops with a flaky pastry side, Sven's favorite carrot soup, and a butter cake called Kvafjordkake .

If this restaurant existed at Disney World or Disneyland , I would visit regularly. The food was spectacular, the entertainers were Broadway level, and the opportunities for guest participation were unique.

Our table, which consisted of six girls in our mid-20s, was even chosen to form a conga line and sing "Love Is an Open Door" for the entire restaurant — an experience I'll never forget.

Lastly, Amanda experienced 1923 — she said it was nice but forgettable compared to the other two.

Finally, there's 1923, a restaurant inspired by Walt Disney Studios and the year the company was founded.

Though still casual compared to the signature restaurants on the ship, it's arguably the fanciest of the three rotational options. Guests arrived in evening dresses and 1920s attire during my trip, and the atmosphere was comparable to a giant jazz bar.

The menu, on the other hand, was pretty standard, with appetizers like tortelloni and entrees like salmon.

I enjoyed the food and calm atmosphere, but would have preferred to eat at this restaurant first if I'd had the choice. The other two restaurants were so exciting and interactive that this one felt almost forgettable when visited afterward.

Jill and her family also visited the Magic's buffet.

Located on deck nine, Cabanas is the ship's buffet.

Its breakfast offerings included eggs, sausage, bacon, Mickey waffles, fresh fruit, cereal, baked goods, an omelet station, and just about anything else you could think of for breakfast.

The buffet food was good but the layout felt crowded and chaotic .

Amanda was also overwhelmed by the buffet.

The main buffet on the Disney Wish is called Marceline Market. To my sister and my's surprise, the location had just about every type of food you could imagine.

There was a breakfast bar, dessert section, and countless lunch options available — from sandwiches and salads to seafood. It was almost overwhelming.

The market was also extremely crowded, with adults and children carrying giant plates of food every which way. That said, it was tough to find a table that wasn't occupied by another family.

So although we weren't overly impressed by the area or dishes we tried — many items were cold — there were so many other options that, if we'd had time, we likely would have found something to our tastes.

Jill also experienced a few quick-service options on the ship.

I was never hungry or had to look too hard or long to find food.

Quick-service food options on deck include Pinocchio's Pizza (pizza), Duck-In Diner (burgers, chicken fingers, and fries), and Daisy's De-Lites (salads, sandwiches, and lighter fare).

Amanda was really impressed by the quick-service meals and beverages.

Surprisingly, quick-service meals at Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods were some of the best my sister and I had during our trip.

I couldn't get enough of the chicken tenders at Goofy's Grill, and my sister loved making her own bowls at Donald's Cantina.

We also enjoyed the endless free refills of soda, coffee, and ice cream cones that were available for most of the day.

Jill skipped the pools and slides like they usually do because they can get so crowed.

There were two family-friendly pools on deck nine, Goofy's Pool and the Huey, Dewey, and Louie Pool. Goofy's Pool is the largest of the two pools (this is not to say the pool is all that large) and has a Funnel Vision screen where passengers can watch Disney movies.

The Magic has two water slides, the Twist 'n' Spout, and the AquaDunk, which is a drop slide.

There are two splash pads, Nephews Splash Zone and the Aqua Lab. Kids must be three and potty trained to use all the water amenities except Nephews' Splash Zone.

The adult-only area also has a pool and two hot tubs.

Me and my family did not use the pools or slides on this cruise . We usually avoid pools on Disney Cruise Lines because we don't like dealing with the crowds.

Amanda also skipped the pools but enjoyed some of the other water activities.

The Disney Wish is home to multiple pools. There are four on the main deck that face a giant TV screen, three pools on the deck above, two adults-only pools, and a "quiet" pool on the top deck.

There's also a children's splash zone inspired by "Toy Story" and the AquaMouse water ride that wraps around the ship.

Like Jill and her family, my sister and I didn't spend any time inside the pools because they were constantly filled with people. We did, however, ride the AquaMouse and highly recommend it.

Jill's cruise stopped in Nassau and Castaway Cay, but they skipped the former port.

We did not get off the ship in Nassau because we'd been there before and wanted to use the time to enjoy the ship's amenities.

My family's Castaway Cay day was a success — we snorkeled, swam, and had a buffet lunch complete with lots of ice cream. We achieved their goal of staying on budget by skipping alcohol and bringing our own snorkel gear.

Amanda's ship also stopped at Nassau and Castaway Cay, and she also skipped the former to enjoy on-board activities.

The Disney Wish currently stops in Nassau and Castaway Cay.

My sister and I didn't visit the former spot because there were so many activities on board that we wanted to experience. Instead, we experienced the Bahamas via Castaway Cay — a spot that we loved.

We snorkeled, enjoyed the adults-only beach, and rented bikes for $10 each that we used to get around the island.

With so many youth activities, Jill said she hardly saw her kids.

My two kids took advantage of the Oceaneer Club, which is for kids 3 to 12, and Edge, which is for kids 11 to 14. There's also Vibe for kids 14 to 17 and a nursery for kids under 3.

Anyone can explore the kids' areas during several open houses, which are listed in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.

My entire family agreed that the teen club, designed to look like a New York City loft complete with a smoothie bar, was the coolest space. My tweens participated in joint activities with the teen club, including a flash-mob performance.

All of the kids' programming except the nursery are included in the cost of the cruise and don't require reservations. The kids' activities happen all day and all night and I saw little of my kids because they were hanging with new friends.

Amanda enjoyed the activities for adults and felt welcome at a few that seemed angled toward children.

My sister and I were originally nervous to board a Disney cruise as two women in our mid-20s. Would there be more kids than adults onboard? And would there be any activities for people our age?

We did feel overpowered by children at times, but we still had fun. Via our dinner table, we met two other sets of sisters who were in our age range, and we spent time with them throughout the trip.

We also took advantage of adult-catered activities like walking tours and scrapbook classes when possible.

And to our surprise, even the activities meant for kids, like the "Incredibles"-themed obstacle course, welcomed adults, so we got to do that too.

Jill said the Disney Magic had Broadway-quality entertainment.

My three-night sailing included "Tangled: The Musical," "Disney Dreams: An Enchanted Classic," and a comedy/magic show.

The evening shows are aligned with the assigned dining rotation. Guests who have early dinner go to the show after they eat while guests who have second seating go to their show before dinner. There's no assigned seating but shows fill up early. I suggest arriving 30 minutes before showtime.

The "Tangled" show is exclusive for the Disney Magic and I think it's a must-see. The hour-long stage show is an abbreviated version of the animated movie and manages to hit all the high points and favorite songs, like" I Have a Dream" and "At Last I See the Light" and other popular tunes from "Tangled."

"Dreams" is a montage of favorite Disney songs and characters. The main character is a young girl who learns to believe in herself through visits from beloved characters such as Peter Pan, Aladdin, and more. The production was flawless but "Dreams," which I also saw on another Disney cruise, is not my favorite.

Other entertainment included comedy, game shows, and trivia, all listed in the Navigator app. There was a mix of both family-friendly events in the D Lounge and adults-only events in the designated After Hours area.

There was also musical entertainment throughout the cruise, such as pianists and singing duos playing various genres of music. I didn't hone in on any of the musical entertainment. It felt mostly like background noise, not something I felt compelled to stop and watch.

Amanda was also impressed by the almost Broadway-level productions on the ship.

A highlight of the Disney Wish is its three Broadway shows — all of which were created for the new ship. Currently, there's "Disney Seas the Adventure," "Disney The Little Mermaid," and "Disney's Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular."

We definitely preferred some shows over others — the stage take on "Aladdin" was our favorite. We also spent an hour in line to enter the theater before each show. Seats filled up fast.

But we found ourselves looking forward to each production, and once our vacation was over, we joked about driving to New York City to attend a Broadway show each night.

Overall, Jill enjoyed sailing on a smaller ship and felt the trip was worth the cost.

In addition to the Magic, I've also sailed on the Dream (second-biggest ship in the fleet) and Wonder (second-smallest ship in the fleet).

Still, the smaller ships are my favorite because they feel more intimate and easier to navigate. I was happy with how much I spent , my accommodations, and the ship overall.

That said, the Magic did show a few gentle signs of wear and tear, like peeling wallpaper in some common areas and a broken spring on the couch in my room. It wasn't a big deal to me at all, but I definitely think newer ships will have a fresher look.

Overall, Amanda had a good time but isn't sure the cruise is worth the high price.

During our trip, my sister and I had trouble moving past the price of our vacation. Though we loved almost every minute of it, nearly $3,000 felt like a lot to pay for a three-day vacation that at times felt very rushed.

So if we had to pick between a Disney cruise and a stay at Disney World, we'd pick the latter.

That said, our time on the Disney Wish was unlike anything we'd ever experienced, and I find myself growing fonder of it as time goes on. I miss the buffet, the beautiful beach at Castaway Cay, and even the $3 popcorn we ordered before each theater show.

So although I'm not sure if I'd book the same vacation again or regularly, I'd definitely say it's worth taking at least one Disney cruise.

Booking a Disney Wish Cruise Vacation

Planning a vacation on Disney’s largest cruise ship, the Disney Wish, is an exciting adventure for families and Disney enthusiasts alike. Here are some important considerations when booking your Disney Wish cruise vacation.

Cost Considerations

When booking a Disney Wish cruise vacation, it’s important to factor in the cost. Disney cruises are known for their exceptional quality and immersive experiences, but they can come with a higher price tag compared to other cruise lines.

However, the value you receive in terms of entertainment, dining, and overall experience can often outweigh the cost.

It’s essential to set a budget and consider all the expenses involved, such as the cruise fare, gratuities, onboard activities, port excursions, and transportation to and from the port. Additionally, keep in mind that some activities and dining experiences may require an additional fee.

To make the most of your budget, consider booking during off-peak seasons or taking advantage of special promotions and discounts offered by Disney Cruise Line. It’s also a good idea to compare prices across different travel agencies and websites to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Booking Tips and Priority Access

Disney Wish cruises are highly sought after, so it’s important to plan your booking strategy wisely. Here are some tips to help you secure your dream vacation:

Book Early: Disney Cruise Line typically releases their itineraries and opens bookings well in advance. By booking early, you can have a better chance of securing your preferred stateroom category, dining time, and onboard experiences.
Be Flexible: If your travel dates are flexible, consider booking during non-peak periods. Not only can you potentially save money, but you may also have more options when it comes to stateroom availability and dining reservations.
Join the Castaway Club: Disney Cruise Line’s loyalty program, the Castaway Club, offers various benefits, including early booking opportunities and onboard perks. By joining the Castaway Club, you can gain priority access to book your Disney Wish cruise vacation.
Stay Informed: Keep an eye on Disney Cruise Line’s official website and social media channels for announcements, promotions, and updates. Being informed can give you an edge when it comes to booking your desired sailings.

Travel Agent or DIY Booking

When it comes to booking your Disney Wish cruise vacation, you have the option of working with a travel agent or doing it yourself (DIY). Both approaches have their advantages, and the choice ultimately depends on your preferences and needs.

Working with a travel agent who specializes in Disney vacations can offer several benefits. They have extensive knowledge of Disney Cruise Line’s offerings, can provide personalized recommendations, and handle all the booking details for you.

Travel agents can also help you navigate the sometimes complex world of cruise bookings, ensuring you don’t miss out on any important details or opportunities.

On the other hand, if you enjoy the thrill of planning and researching on your own, DIY booking might be the way to go. Booking directly through Disney Cruise Line’s website allows you to have full control over your reservation and make adjustments as needed.

However, keep in mind that it may require more time and effort on your part to research, compare prices, and handle all the booking logistics.

Regardless of the booking method you choose, it’s important to do thorough research, read reviews, and consider your personal preferences to ensure a smooth and enjoyable Disney Wish cruise vacation.

With its innovative attractions, world-class entertainment, luxurious amenities, family focused activities and legendary Disney service, the Disney Wish sets a new standard for family cruises.

This magnificently designed ship provides magical memories across its many distinctive venues. From the splashes of AquaMouse to the inspirational tales of Disney heroes in the Walt Disney Theatre, the Wish has something amazing in store for cruisers of all ages.

Booking early and understanding the various options, costs and itineraries are key for planning your dream cruise on Disney’s grandest ship. We hope this comprehensive guide gets you excited to set sail on the incredible Disney Wish very soon!

Disney Cruise Ships by Size [2022] with Comparison Chart

Below you'll find a complete list of Disney Ships by Size . From their smallest ship, the Disney Wonder, to the largest Disney cruise ship (soon to be), the Disney Wish.

While some cruise lines differ in size by a factor of 5x between their biggest and smallest ships, Disney has less variance. It also has significantly fewer ships. Once completed, the Disney Wish will be the fleet's 5th ship. Compare that to Carnival and Royal Caribbean's massive fleets (totally roughly 60 ships).

However, the difference in size between the Magic Class of ships vs Disney Class is worth noting. The Dream and Fantasy are roughly 55% larger than the Wonder and Magic! If you're in the "bigger is better camp," you'll want to opt for the Dream Class.

Here at Gangwaze, we don't discriminate when it comes to our Disney ship size. Sometimes we need a bit more breathing room. Think big family reunions. While other times we prefer a cozier cruise.

First, a little clarification is needed before checking out our sizing chart below. We're comparing Disney cruise ships by size using the metric, " Gross Tonnage ." This always causes a few shoulder shrugs in our community. We're not simply talking, "weight." The definition is a bit nuanced. And by "nuanced, we mean "boring." Here it is nonetheless.

Hey, wake up! So why do we use this measurement to determine Disney Ship Sizes? As noted above, it's used for safety rules and whatnot. As such, it's the standard across this cruise line and all others. Every passenger cruise ship will have this measurement . That makes it easy to compare ship size across ship, class, cruise lines and more.

Ok, we're done with today's course on maritime verbiage. Here's the good stuff.

Does Disney Ship Size impact cruise price?

The price of a Disney cruise isn't directly correlated with size. You won't find that the bigger the ship, the more the cost. Nor will you find the opposite. You won't necessarily pay less for the largest Disney ship vs the smallest. It will all depend on the specific itinerary. To get a sense of pricing, please use our widget below. You can switch between the different Disney ships to see the difference in cost.

Below you'll find all Disney ships ranked by size (in Gross Tonnage). Additionally, you'll find a number of other stats in our ship list. These include ship length, beam, draft, passenger count, and a few others for your viewing pleasure.

Disney Cruise Ships by Size (Largest to Smallest)

Your experience on any of the above ships will be consistent. You'll find the same cast of characters and many of the same dining venues and attractions. With Disney, you really can't go wrong.

When choosing our next DCL vacation, we tend to focus more on factors other than size. These include available itineraries, departure port, cruise length, price and more. You can click through any of the ships below to find our pricing page. There, you'll see all these factors in play and easily sortable.

Disney Cruise Ships by Size, Age and Class (2022)

Disney Cruise Line has an active fleet of four cruise ships with a further three ships on order ( Disney Wish and two currently unnamed ships).

In this guide, we will cover all the different ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and how they compare to each other.

Introduction to Disney Cruise Line

Before Disney Cruise Line became its own entity, Disney actually tried to work with both Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. However, nothing really came of this and so in 1994 Disney had their first cruise ship plans drawn up.

Disney announced their first cruises would start in 1998 and commissioned familiar cruise shipbuilder, Fincantieri in Italy to build their first two cruise ships ( Disney Magic and Disney Wonder ).

In July 1998, Disney Magic performed the first maiden voyage for the cruise line – sailing from their homeport of Port Canaveral, Florida.

By 2005, Disney was using Los Angeles as their summer homeport for their ships and the gaining popularity of them was outstripping their capacity.

In 2007, they announced the building of two new cruise ships – Disney Dream , which launched in January 2011 and Disney Fantasy which started operations in 2012.

More recently, in 2016 Disney announced a new class of cruise ship – the Triton-class, which would be used for two new upcoming cruise ships. A third ship was added to the order book in 2017 and the first ship of the class, Disney Wis h is expected to join the Disney fleet in July 2022.

Disney Cruise Ships Frequently Asked Questions

What is disney’s largest cruise ship.

The Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream are the largest cruise ships in the Disney fleet currently.

What is Disney’s smallest cruise ship?

Disney Magic is the smallest cruise ship in the Disney fleet, carrying 2,700 passengers.

Which is the oldest Disney cruise ship?

Disney Magic is the oldest ship in the Disney fleet. It started service in 1998.

Which is the newest Disney cruise ship?

The newest Disney ship is Disney Wish which is due to enter service in July 2022.

What is the cheapest month to take a Disney cruise?

Generally, Jan-Mar or Nov-Dec are the off-peak season cruises with Disney and therefore cheaper to cruise!

Do you pay for dining on a Disney cruise?

No. Disney cruises are all-inclusive with no surcharges for dining. However, popcorn is extra!

Can you smoke on a Disney cruise?

You have never been allowed to smoke in the Disney staterooms. But they do have designated areas onboard each of their ships.

What Disney cruise ship is the best?

The best Disney cruise is usually the one your kids will beg you to go on! In all seriousness, Disney Fantasy has the highest review scores – probably because it is one of the newest with the latest facilities and technologies onboard too!

Are Disney cruise pools heated?

Yes! For your comfort, they are kept at a heat of around 75f.

Why is Disney Cruise Line so expensive?

Disney itself is quite expensive (parks and hotels) – but this is because you are paying for very high-quality experiences with exceptional guest satisfaction.

Their cruises are also more expensive because of the inclusive dining.

Disney Cruise Ships by Size (from largest to smallest)

What does ‘tonnage (grt)’ mean.

GRT (Gross Registered Tonnage) is a term used to calculate the volume inside a ship. It is a measure of cubic capacity and is calculated by the total volume from inside the hull and decks of the ship. 1 GRT = 100 cubic feet of space. In essence, the bigger the GRT – the more ‘space’ the ship has for passengers, cargo, etc.

How are ‘Passengers (Max)’ calculated?

You’ll see multiple numbers for passengers on ships – this is because many ships include extra beds in cabins (such as the sofa/couch can convert to a pull-out bed) – but the majority of cabins usually have 2 people in them. the ‘Max’ number is if every cabin used their additional pull-out bed, etc. This number is unlikely to be reached very frequently.

Disney Cruise Ships by Age (from newest to oldest)

Are all disney cruise ships new builds.

Yes, all Disney cruise ships are brand new builds and purpose-built for Disney Cruise Line.

As Disney has exceptionally high standards you can guess that they would not be happy with taking on an older ship and converting it to their standard.

Therefore, they build each ship to their exact specification. However, they do use the same cruise shipbuilder as other lines such as Carnival and MSC Cruises use, which is Fincantieri in Italy.

Disney Cruise Ships by Class (from newest to oldest)

Final thoughts.

For many, taking a Disney Cruise is an absolute bucket-list item – whether you are a seasoned cruiser or not. Who wouldn’t want to experience the magic of Disney, but at sea?

From their colorful ships to the very high customer service standards that Disney offers, a Disney cruise is perfect for kids (and adults too).

The cruise line has been slower than others to add extra ships, but with three new ships on order, they will be nearly doubling their fleet by late 2025!

Disney Cruise Ships Compared: Finding the Perfect Ship for Your Magical Journey!

Sharing is caring!

In Disney Cruise circles it’s known as the Grand Slam.

This is only achieved when you have sailed on all of the Disney Cruise Line ships in the fleet.

As the years go by, and the expansion of DCL gathers pace, it is becoming more difficult!

Right now there are five ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, but soon, with the launch of Disney Treasure, there will be six. All of the ships offer different experiences

Wait until 2026 and you will have to sail on eight Disney Cruise ships to get your Grand Slam title including the brand-new Disney Adventure. From having just four ships not so long ago, DCL is now becoming a major player in the cruise industry with a rapid expansion of the fleet.

Which Disney Ships Are Currently Sailing?

Right now Disney Cruise Line offers:

Disney Magic
Disney Wonder
Disney Dream
Disney Fantasy
Disney Wish

By 2025, three new Disney Ships will be launched making the total fleet of eight ships.

Disney Treasure December 2024
Disney Adventure
Triton Class Ship

Disney Treasure Progress – Follow the Building of Disney Treasure

The Different Classes of DCL Ship

Right now there are three different “classes” of Disney ships:

The Classic Ships – Disney Magic and Disney Wonder
The Dream Class Ships – Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy
The Triton Class Ships – Disney Wish and Disney Treasure (her maiden voyage is set for December 2024).

There will be at least one more Triton Class ship in the fleet as this has already been ordered. It is not known when construction will start or when she will sail.

As yet there is no news on what the name of this Disney ship will be.

2025 will also see the launch of the new ship that Disney acquired which was already 75% completed when they purchased it.

The acquisition of Global Dream was a bit of a surprise. This almost completed ship was headed for the scrap yard unless a buyer was found. Disney stepped in.

The Global Dream reportedly cost $1.8 billion to build and lenders had financed about $1.6 billion of this.

DCL had an eye for a bargain and reportedly paid only $41 million for the partially completed ship. Considering that you could easily pay around that for a home in Malibu California (obviously, the ship has rather higher running costs), this was a deal.

This ship will be very much larger than any of the others in the Disney fleet. Not only that, but she will be one of the biggest cruise ships in the World.

She will even rival the largest Royal Caribbean ships in size – although will not be quite as huge as Icon of the Seas!

It has been announced that the biggest ship in the fleet will be named Disney Aventure.

We know that this Disney ship will sail out of Singapore – but very few other details are known.

Disney Buys New Ship – What Will She Be Like?

Disney Magic Cruise Ship – How Big is She?

Disney Magic was the first Disney Cruise Ship to be launched.

The Magic and Wonder are both known as the Classic ships.

The Magic was built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.

One fun fact is that she was built in two halves at two different locations of the Fincantieri shipyard. When each was completed they were carefully welded together. I

f you look at the exterior wall in the middle of the promenade Deck 4 you can see the welding join where the two halves were joined.

Gross Tonnage : 83969 GT
Ship Length : 984 feet
Beam : 106 feet
Draft : 25 feet
Max Speed : 25 mph (22 knots)
Launched : 1998
Capacity : 2,713 passengers
Crew Members : 945
Total on Board : 3,658
Total Staterooms : 875
Ship Cost : $400 Million

Disney Magic Restaurants:

Rapunzel’s Royal Table
Lumiere’s

Disney Wonder Cruise Ship Size

The Wonder is almost identical in construction and capacity to Disney Magic.

However, the Wonder was not built in two halves as the Magic was. She was built in one shipyard location in one piece.

However, by the usual Disney attention to detail if you look at Deck 4 on the Wonder on the exterior wall in the middle of the deck you will see a join line.

This is a fake welding line but was included to make it look like the real one on Disney Magic.

Gross Tonnage : 83969 GT Ship Length : 984 feet Beam : 106 feet Draft : 25 feet Max Speed : 25 mph (22 knots) Launched : 1998 Capacity : 2,713 passengers Crew Members : 945 Total on Board : 3,658 Total Staterooms : 875 Registered : Bahamas Ship Cost : $450 Million

Disney Wonder Restaurants :

Tiana’s Place
Tiriton’s

DCL Ships Size Comparison

The Global Dream will be the giant of the fleet. This Disney Cruise ship will be one of the biggest in the world.

Disney is not known for the size of its ships. Royal Caribbean usually takes this distinction.

Ships Ranked Biggest to Smallest

Global Dream – 208,000 GRT
New Triton-class ship – 144,000 GRT
Disney Treasure – 144,000 GRT
Disney Wish – 144,000 GRT
Disney Fantasy – 129,690 GRT
Disney Dream – 129,690 GRT
Disney Wonder – 84,000 GRT
Disney Magic – 84,000 GRT

Which Disney Cruise Ship is the Biggest?

Right now the biggest Disney Ships is the Wish.

Disney Treasure will be equal in size to the Wish. So will the third Triton Class ship which will launch in 2025.

In 2024 with the launch of the new Triton Class ship, this will be equal between the Disney Wish and Treasure.

When we reach the launch of the Global Dream, she will be, by far the biggest of the Disney Cruise ships.

Which Ship is the Smallest?

The smallest is Disney Magic. Well, it is pretty much a tie between Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. They are identical in most ways.

One interesting difference is that Disney Magic was built in two parts and welded together. Disney Wonder was built in one part.

Look closely at Disney Wonder and you will see a “fake” welding line on the ship, in the same place that the real one is on Disney Magic.

Which Disney Ship is the Newest?

At the beginning of 2024, Disney Wish is currently the newest of the Disney cruise ships.

However, in December 2024 the Disney Treasure will be launched and will take over this title.

Which Ship is the Oldest?

Disney Magic is the oldest of the fleet, having been launched in 1998. She is the sister ship of Disney Wonder, which was launched just a year later in 1999.

She is from the time when most of the cruise industry was focusing on smaller ships and the mega cruise ships of today were simply a glimmer in the eye of the designers!

Just because the Magic and Wonder are the older sisters of the fleet doesn’t mean that they don’t have a lot to offer. These older ships still offer the signature cruise experience of Disney characters, themed main dining, kids’ clubs, Broadway-quality entertainment, specialty restaurants for adults, adult pool decks, family pools and character meet and greets.

All of the ships in the fleet are updated during frequent dry docks.

Where Will Disney Cruise Ships Sail in 2024?

Disney Cruise ships are now sailing from more ports than ever, including Disney’s Private island Castaway Cay. And in summer 2024 there will be port stops at their new island destination Lighthouse Point.

Disney Wish – sailing from Port Canaveral on 3 and 4-night Bahamas Cruises with port stops at Castaway Cay
Disney Fantasy – sailing from Port Canaveral on mostly 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean Cruises with port stops at Castaway Cay.
Disney Magic – sailing from Galveston, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, and San Juan.
Disney Dream – sailing from Fort Lauderdale on Bahamian and Caribbean Cruises
Disney Wonder – sailing Australian, New Zealand, Transpacific, Pacific Coast, Alaskan, Mexican Riviera, and Baja Cruises.

Guide to Disney Cruise Ships by Size

How many disney cruise line ships are there.

At the time of publication, there are five Disney Cruise Line ships in three ship classes. By 2025, there will be eight ships in the fleet, across four classes.

What are the differences between the Disney cruise ships?

Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are both Magic-class ships built in 1998 and 1999 but completely refit in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy are Dream-class ships built in 2011 and 2012. Dream underwent a refit in 2015, while Fantasy did in 2017.

Disney Wish is the first ship in the Triton Class, debuting in 2022. Disney Treasure in 2024 and another yet-unnamed vessel in 2025 will join Disney Wish.

Also in 2025, the Global Dream will make its debut, Disney Cruise Line’s first-ever acquired vessel. Originally ordered for now-defunct Dream Cruises, the ship remains unfinished at the shipyard in Germany, but will bear the Disney brand and potentially a new name when it launches. This ship is the cruise line’s first for the Asian market, setting sail in Singapore .

Disney ships vary in size, with the oldest ships being the smallest and the newer vessels being the largest in the fleet. They also differ in their entertainment offerings.

While top-quality production shows and dinner theater is a hallmark of every ship in the fleet, the offerings vary from ship to ship. You’ll find that “Tangled” might be the musical onboard Magic, while Disney Wonder offers the interactive Tiana’s Place restaurant.

All ships offer the Oceaneer Club, a state-of the-art kids club, but they vary slightly by ship. Imagine the characters of Pixar’s “Toy Story” alongside a Marvel Superhero Academy or a functional Star Wars Millennium Falcon. These onboard spaces are all so tricked out, adults will be jealous.

Disney’s ships also differ in itineraries. These destinations can vary from year to year and ship to ship. In summer, you might find Disney Dream in Europe while Disney Wonder is sailing in Alaska.

The remainder of the fleet sails popular itineraries in the Caribbean and Bahamas from Florida-based ports as well as a few voyages from San Juan, Puerto Rico. These itineraries often feature a stop at Disney’s private island of Castaway Cay .

Of course, these differences across the fleet also impact Disney cruise costs .

Which Disney cruise ship is the biggest?

With the introduction of its Triton Class, Disney has built its largest cruise ship to date. Disney Wish accommodates up to 4,000 passengers, like its Dream-class sisters. However, it is a bit roomier at 144,000 gross registered tons (GRT).

However, when Global Dream debuts in 2025 in Singapore, it will weigh in at an estimated 208,000 GRT. When it comes to Disney cruise ships by size, this is nearly double the size of any current Disney ship.

What Disney cruise ship is the newest?

The newest Disney Cruise Line ship currently sailing is 2022’s Disney Wish. After a 10-year shipbuilding hiatus, Disney will double its fleet size in three years, imminently adding three more new ships: Disney Treasure (2024); the third Triton-class ship (2025); and the ship formerly known as Global Dream (2025).

Disney Cruise Line Ships Ranked Biggest to Smallest

Global Dream (2025) – 208,000 GRT, approximately 3,000 guests at double capacity
Unnamed Triton-class ship (2025) – 144,000 GRT, 2,508 guests at double capacity
Disney Treasure (2024) – 144,000 GRT, 2,508 guests at double capacity
Disney Wish (2022) – 144,000 GRT, 2,508 guests at double capacity
Disney Fantasy (2012) – 129,690 GRT, 2,500 guests at double capacity
Disney Dream (2011) – 129,690 GRT, 2,500 guests at double capacity
Disney Wonder (1999) – 84,000 GRT, 1,754 guests at double capacity
Disney Magic (1998) – 84,000 GRT, 1,754 guests at double capacity

Magic Class

Disney’s two oldest ships, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, are still in incredible shape. Guests love their intimate feel as they are about a third smaller than the other ships. Art Nouveau style melds with Disney characters and thematic flair for a stunning ship atmosphere across the Magic Class.

Disney Cruise Line concepts like rotational dining (where you change restaurants each night, but your servers follow you from venue to venue) shine on Magic and Wonder. Animator’s Palate is an interactive way to draw up some fun with dinner.

The AquaDunk was added as a drop-out waterslide to both ships during refurbishment, amping up its pool decks, which also host the AquaLab and Goofy’s Pool.

Popular film franchise “Frozen” takes form on Disney Wonder as “Frozen: A Musical Spectacular.”

Disney Wonder- Disney Cruise Ships By Size

Dream Class

Built in the mid-2000s, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy were built to be a bit bigger than their predecessors. Cabins — even inside cabins — feature views, thanks to “magical portholes.” This virtual window marked a first in the industry when they debuted on Dream in 2011.

Despite a low-sounding number for double occupancy, the family-friendly cabin configurations of the Dream Class allow for up to 4,000 passengers. In fact, many staterooms allow for families of four and five to bunk comfortably. This includes two half-baths, one with just a toilet as well as a room with a tub or shower, to make it easier to get ready morning, noon or night.

Out on the pool deck, the AquaDuck is a kid-friendly water coaster that allows parents to ride with their tots through translucent tubes.

The Oceaneer Club features the Marvel Superhero Academy since the ships’ refurbishment.

Tuck in for complimentary top-tier stage productions on both ships, like musical “Aladdin” on Disney Fantasy.

Triton Class

After a decade-long hiatus, Disney introduced its Triton Class in 2022 with Disney Wish. The company is making the most of its Star Wars and Marvel brands with new programs and spaces for kids and adults.

Onboard Wish, a Hyperspace Lounge brings passengers into the world of Star Wars with the feeling of enjoying a cocktail in space. New interactive dining concepts like “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” introduce Ant Man and the Wasp as dinner companions, shrinking and growing at the push of a button.

“Frozen” makes another appearance on Wish as well, this time as a dinner theater experience.

Parents and adults can indulge in a kid-free evening at Palo Steakhouse or Enchante, new specialty dining concepts for DCL. These restaurants are themed after Cogsworth and Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

On the pool deck, AquaMouse is a Disney attraction that pairs lighting and special effects, bringing Mickey and Minnie along with you for a water tube ride. Meanwhile, Disney Uncharted Adventure is a first-of-its-kind interactive storytelling experience onboard that implores families to solve quests using their smartphones as an “enchanted spyglass.”

As for accommodations, Royal Suites on Wish are inspired by “Sleeping Beauty” and feature two cabins with two levels including a spiral staircase and stained-glass artwork fit for princes and princesses.

Disney Wish is currently sailing a series of three- and four-night Bahamas sailings from Port Canaveral, year-round.

Disney Treasure, the forthcoming second ship in the Triton Class, will debut in 2024. Initial announcements reveal inspiration from “Aladdin.” In the ship’s Grand Hall, guests will absorb the grandeur and mystery of a palace influenced by Asian and African architecture. Information about Treasure’s dining, cabins, and entertainment is forthcoming.

Dream Cruises Acquisition

Little is known at this time about what will be featured onboard Disney’s Global Dream cruise ship and how its class will be determined. Apart from its notably large size and the introduction of Asia as an entirely new destination for Disney’s oceangoing ships, few details exist on plans for this Singapore-based vessel.

The World’s Largest Cruise Ship Is HERE and It’s Breaking RECORDS! 😱

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

We talk about cruising quite a bit here on DFB, although, granted, we’re usually talking about Disney Cruise Line .

Disney Cruise Line certainly offers a little something for everyone, including fine dining , private islands , fun activities , and more. But Royal Caribbean just took ownership of a new ship, Icon of the Seas , and we’ll admit that as we learn more about it, it’s giving us some FOMO (aka fear of missing out).

Royal Caribbean just welcomed its new ship, Icon of the Seas, in a celebration at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turki, Finland. Icon of the Seas is the result of 900 days of design and construction and will be the largest cruise ship in the world. During the celebration, representatives of Royal Caribbean signed all the necessary documents to take ownership of the new ship, which will set sail for the first time in January 2024 from Miami.

The ship will feature the single largest glass and steel structure to ever be lifted onto a cruise ship, the AquaDome, as well as more water on board throughout the ship’s seven pools and six waterslides. The ship will now be sailing to Cadiz, Spain, where the finishing touches will be added before it heads to Miami.

The ship includes eight neighborhoods, 40 restaurants and bars, four signature stages for shows, and 28 room types. Icon of the Seas is also Royal Caribbean’s first ship that can be powered by liquefied natural gas. It also has the first waste-to-energy plant at sea.

“Welcoming Icon of the Seas to the Royal Caribbean family is a remarkable accomplishment years in the making for thousands of innovators, engineers, architects and designers,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Seven years ago, we had an ambitious idea to create the first vacation truly made for every type of family and adventurer; now, it’s in our hands, and in this final stretch, we’ll bring it all to life for the biggest debut in our history in January 2024.”

You can now book cruises on the Icon of the Seas, so if you’re looking for something a little different, you might want to check it out.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.

Disney Cruise Line ships ranked by size from biggest to smallest — the complete list

Are you looking for the most activity-packed, megaresort-like Disney Cruise Line ships at sea? If so, you'll want to get on one of the biggest Disney Cruise Line ships.

The biggest Disney cruise ships are, by their very nature, the Disney ships with the most watery fun zones and other family-friendly attractions on their top decks, as well as the most restaurants, bars and showrooms. They also have the biggest array of cabins and suites — as well as the most variation in cabin and suite types.

With room for 4,000 passengers or more, the three biggest Disney Cruise Line ships — Disney Wish, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream — are large resorts of the sort you find at such landlocked destinations as Orlando and Las Vegas. If you're in the "bigger is better" camp when it comes to a resort experience, these are the Disney ships for you.

However, Disney doesn't just operate such large vessels. The family-friendly cruise brand also operates two smaller cruise ships — Disney Wonder and Disney Magic — that carry just 2,500 passengers at maximum capacity. In both cases, these vessels are 40% smaller than Disney's biggest ships. As a result, they have fewer deck-top activities and interior venues than the biggest Disney cruise ships. They also have a much more intimate feel that many Disney fans love.

The two smaller Disney cruise ships are best for vacationers who like a more intimate, less crowded resort experience.

To make sure that you end up on the right Disney ship for you, it pays to study which Disney ships are the biggest and which are the smallest before booking.

Here, every Disney ship currently in operation is ranked from biggest to smallest.

1. Disney Wish

Maiden voyage: 2022 Size: 144,000 gross tons Passenger capacity : 2,508

2 (tied). Disney Fantasy

Maiden voyage: 2012 Size: 125,000 gross tons Passenger capacity : 2,500

2 (tied). Disney Dream

Maiden voyage: 2011 Size: 125,000 gross tons Passenger capacity : 2,500

4. Disney Wonder

Maiden voyage: 1999 Size: 85,000 gross tons Passenger capacity : 1,750

5. Disney Magic

Maiden voyage: 1998 Size: 83,000 gross tons Passenger capacity : 1,750

What is the biggest Disney cruise ship?

The biggest Disney Cruise Line ship is Disney Wish. At 144,000 gross tons, it's about 15% bigger than the next biggest Disney ships (Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream). Unveiled in July 2022, Disney Wish is also the newest Disney cruise ship.

TPG has had staffers on Disney Wish three times over the past year to experience and review the vessel. For more on the ship and its new features, see the following guides and reviews:

What is the smallest Disney cruise ship?

The smallest Disney Cruise Line ship is Disney Magic. At 83,000 gross tons, it's about 40% smaller than Disney's biggest cruise ship, Disney Wish.

Unveiled in 1998, Disney Magic also is the oldest Disney cruise ship. Its arrival marked the beginning of the line.

Because of its smaller size, Disney Magic offers fewer and smaller attractions than newer Disney ships such as Disney Wish. Disney Cruise Line typically uses Disney Magic as well as its similarly sized sister ship Disney Wonder for its more destination-intensive itineraries — trips where you're going to spend much of your time off the ship and onboard amenities are less important.

Disney Magic, for instance, is the ship that Disney sends to Europe every summer for itineraries that are all about exploring cities such as Barcelona and Rome (reached via the port of Civitavecchia, Italy).

Are bigger Disney cruise ships coming?

Yes — at least one. Disney Cruise Line recently bought a massive, partly finished cruise ship that originally was ordered for Asia-based Dream Cruises. At 208,000 gross tons, the vessel will be more than 40% bigger than the biggest Disney ship currently at sea.

The unfinished and as-yet-unnamed ship, which originally was designed to hold 9,000 people, became available for purchase after Dream Cruises went out of business.

Disney plans to finish construction on the vessel and operate it out of Singapore starting in 2025. The ship will sail Southeast Asia voyages that likely will be aimed at the Asia cruise market.

In announcing the purchase, Disney said the vessel would hold just 6,000 passengers, implying that the ship's cabin configurations would be redesigned.

In addition to the vessel mentioned above, Disney Cruise Line also has two sister ships to Disney Wish on order. The first to arrive will be Disney Treasure in 2024. Another vessel in the same series, known as the Triton class of ships, is on order for delivery in 2025.

The two new Triton-class vessels will be roughly the same size as Disney Wish.

What's the difference between bigger and smaller Disney cruise ships?

The biggest Disney Cruise Line ships have room for more onboard venues and attractions than the older vessels and offer a bigger-feeling resort experience.

On the three biggest Disney vessels (Disney Wish, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream), you'll find large water coasters careening around the top deck — a level of attraction you don't find on the two smaller Disney ships.

The three biggest Disney cruise ships also are home to kiddie waterslides, deck-top kiddie play areas and several pools a piece. The ships' insides are loaded with huge children's play areas, family entertainment and even adults-only venues.

Disney's two smaller ships are about 40% smaller than its three bigger ships and have fewer such features. They have a notably more intimate feel, at least in the pantheon of relatively big, mass-market ships. They also hold fewer people. While Disney's three biggest ships are designed to hold around 4,000 passengers with every berth full, the line's two smallest vessels (together known as the Magic class of ships) are only designed to carry about 2,500 passengers with every berth filled.

That makes the two smallest Disney ships a good choice for someone who wants to try a Disney cruise but isn't eager to travel with huge crowds. The smallest ships in the Disney fleet thus appeal to a subset of Disney fans who prefer more intimacy in a cruise vessel and don't mind giving up some onboard amenities to get it. They are also sometimes less expensive to sail on, on a per-day basis.

In addition, because of their size, the smallest ships at Disney are able to operate itineraries to places that aren't as easy for big ships to visit. Not all ports in the world can handle a ship the size of Disney Wish.

Disney Cruise Line names its newest cruise ship

I t was bound to happen sometime, but Disney Cruise Line waited until its last of three new sister ships to name one Disney Destiny.

The sister ship to Disney Wish, which debuted out of Port Canaveral in 2022 and the soon-to-debut Disney Treasure arriving in Central Florida this December, the third ship in what was originally called the Trident class had its keel laying ceremony Wednesday at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

It won’t start sailing until 2025, and its home port has yet to be named, but among the details revealed for what will be the eighth ship in the cruise line’s fleet was the theme of the vessel, “Heroes & Villains.”

As such, the filigree artwork for the bow will be of Minnie Mouse wearing a superhero-style outfit complete with a cape.

The cruise line said among the characters from which it will mine features on board will be classic Disney animation films, “The Lion King,” “Hercules” and “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.”

Disney of course owns plenty of good vs. evil intellectual property including Star Wars and Marvel.

“The Disney Destiny will celebrate our most legendary Disney stories and characters, bringing them to life in new and exciting ways exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager for the cruise line, in a press release. “As we continue to expand our fleet, the Disney Destiny will further strengthen our position as a leader in family cruising.”

Just like Disney Wish and Treasure, Disney Destiny will be powered by liquefied natural gas, a cleaner burning fuel that’s part of the cruise industry’s efforts to reduce emissions.

All three are the 144,000 gross-ton, 1,254-stateroom vessels but still targeting the 4,000-passenger capacity of its older ships, 2011’s Disney Dream and 2012’s Fantasy. The line’s first ships are the smaller Disney Magic that debuted in 1998 and Disney Wonder in 1999. They come in at 84,000 gross tons with 875 staterooms.

The line also is finishing construction for an Asia-bound cruise ship named Disney Adventure that will be the largest in the fleet at 208,000 gross tons.

Disney Wish became the line’s first new ship in more than a decade. It continues to do short three- and four-night Bahamas sailings while Disney Treasure will pick up seven-night trips to the Caribbean.

Jill, her husband, and her two kids set sail on the Disney Magic for $2,570.

After a few boarding issues, Amanda and her sister set sail on the Disney Wish for $2,707.52.

Amanda said her stateroom felt fit for a princess despite being small.

Jill was surprised by how much space they actually had.

Amanda's room was the perfect size for two people.

Jill's stateroom was narrow, but there was enough room for a family who spent little time there.

Amanda was especially impressed with the bathroom, which felt luxurious for being so tiny.

Jill could choose from three restaurants on the Disney Magic.

Amanda also had three options on the Wish.

Jill's family enjoyed Rapunzel's Royal Table, the Magic's "Tangled"-themed restaurant.

Lastly, Jill's family visited the Animator's Palette.

Amanda had a decent experience at The Worlds of Marvel restaurant.

Amanda was blown away by the Wish's Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

Amanda was also overwhelmed by the buffet.

Jill also experienced a few quick-service options on the ship.

Amanda was really impressed by the quick-service meals and beverages.

Jill said the Disney Magic had Broadway-quality entertainment.

Amanda was also impressed by the almost Broadway-level productions on the ship.
