The Disney Believe is a sister ship to the Disney Wish, the Disney Treasure, and the Disney Destiny, but the Believe will present its own unique design theme and story motifs!
The Disney Believe — Destinations
The Disney Believe will offer four- and five-night sailings to the Bahamas and the Caribbean from her home port, Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Disney Believe Theme
The Disney Believe will present its own unique motif: one of promise and possibilities. There will be elements from the “mystical worlds of Encanto and Frozen, to the wishing wells of Snow White, to the depths of the sea with Moana and The Little Mermaid, there are endless stories waiting to be discovered and new chapters ready to unfold onboard.”
Disney has also shared that stories from Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars will be part of the experience aboard the Disney Believe.
The Disney Believe Atrium — Welcome Aboard
The Grand Hall
Passengers aboard the Disney Believe are welcomed into the Grand Hall, a new and stunning atrium design that debuted with the Disney Wish. The Disney Believe’s signature bronze sculpture features Moana and her companions, Pua and Hei Hei, and Disney shares that the Grand Hall will be “infused with the optimistic spirit of exploration from Disney Animation’s Moana films.”

The concept art above, which was first revealed at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event held in August 2026, also provides a glimpse of the “artisanal Polynesian finishes that honor the cultural traditions of the region” of the South Pacific.
Dining on the Disney Believe
The Disney Believe — Rotational Family Dining
The Disney Believe will boast three restaurants as part of Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rotational Dining, whereby you get to eat for dinner at three unique restaurants while your wonderful crew servers rotate with you so they get to know your group and dining preferences!
Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast
The new restaurant and dinner show that is entirely unique to the Disney Believe is Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast!

The meal-meets-musical will feature a show that includes “rousing, reimagined renditions of famous tunes from the popular ‘Frozen’ soundtracks,” and you’ll even see more friends from Arendelle like Anna and Kristoff.
Worlds of Marvel
The Disney Wish presented the first-ever Marvel dining adventure, and we’re thrilled that guests aboard the Disney Believe will also have the chance to experience Worlds of Marvel!
Worlds of Marvel
Worlds of Marvel lets guests “play an interactive role in an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around them,” making this a truly immersive experience.
Cuisine is based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with food inspired by Wakanda, Eastern European Sokovia, California, China, South America, and New York City.
1923
1923, named after the founding year of Walt Disney Animation Studios, takes guests on a journey through animation. Dining areas present an upscale Hollywood setting with “a dash of Disney whimsy.”

Guests can take in the surrounding artwork depicting both modern and classic Disney animated productions while they dine. Dishes feature fresh California flavors “inspired by the fusion of cultural flavors” found throughout the Golden State, with items everyone in the family can enjoy.
Disney Believe — Cafes and Sweet Shops
Disney Believe — Entertainment
A true hallmark of Disney Cruise Line is the onboard ENTERTAINMENT! Let’s see what the Believe will have to offer…
Walt Disney Theatre
On every Disney Cruise Line ship, the Walt Disney Theatre is home to original Broadway-style shows developed exclusively for Disney Cruise Line.
The Walt Disney Theater on the Disney Wish
On the Disney Believe, the featured productions include two Disney Cruise Line fan favorites — Tangled and Disney Seas the Adventure — and a NEW and exclusive show: Encanto!
Disney Seas the Adventure
Disney Seas the Adventure is an original musical production starring dear Disney and Pixar pals and featuring unforgettable Disney songs!
Disney Seas the Adventure
Captain Minnie has handed the helm of the ship over to Goofy and, well… it’s a “venture into uncharted waters” from here! This show is also presented on the Disney Wish (where it made its debut) and the other Wish Class ships.
The Disney Believe Size and Capacity
Ships in the Wish Class typically hold up to 4,000 passengers in about 1,200 staterooms. The ship’s gross tonnage should be about 144,000, and the ship will likely measure 1,119 feet long and 128 feet wide, assuming the Disney Believe stays in keeping with her sister ships.
The Disney Believe — The Bow and Stern
At D23: The Ultimate Fan Event in August 2026, Disney revealed that the bow of the Disney Believe will feature the one and only Tinker Bell as she first appeared in the Walt Disney Animation Studios film, Peter Pan.

She will be “flanked by the silhouettes of Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, and other characters from the film flying amid the swirling design.”
Disney Cruise Line holds a tradition for each new ship, with the stern featuring its own unique character artwork. On the Disney Believe, Woody and Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story film franchise are “hitching a ride” on the stern!

Uniquely, in keeping with the Toy Story theme of the stern, Woody and Buzz will appear as though they are etching the name of the ship with yellow crayons! The design also yields the franchise’s unique font.
The Disney Believe Construction
The Disney Believe is currently under construction in Papenburg, Germany at the Meyer Werft Shipyard.
The Disney Believe — Inaugural Sailings, Destinations, and Booking Information
