New Details on Villainous Experiences Aboard the Disney Destiny

Not only do guests dine with kings at Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King and take an adventure to ancient Greece via the Walt Disney Theatre in “Disney Hercules,” they also have the chance to entertain their inner rogue during unique meet-and-play opportunities with some of Disney Animation and Marvel’s classic villains.

These wretched rendezvous are extra special, as many of these villainous shenanigans are only available onboard the Disney Destiny.

Now, let’s dive into how favorite villains could make guests’ sailings an awfully vengeful voyage.

Step into the world of Norse mythology with “The Legend of Loki” on the Disney Destiny, as the Grand Hall transforms into one of its signature villainous looks.

In this special story, guests will discover ancient Nordic statues which become enchanted with the magic of Loki himself, telling the stories of the gods of Asgard and the trials of the God of Mischief. Of course, Loki is sure to set the record straight on these tales, since he is ultimately planning to claim his “rightful” place as king of the Disney Destiny.

The Grand Hall is also home to “Celebration of a King,” a beautiful tribute to King T’Challa of Wakanda. Unfortunately, Loki crashes the celebration, assuming that the grandeur is all about him (we all make mistakes), and declares that he is king of the ship, demanding guests kneel before him instead. Will anyone save the ship from the God of Mischief’s enchantment?

In Saga, the miffed enchantress, Maleficent, will hold court in a one-of-a-kind encounter, transforming the entertainment lounge into whatever suits her fancy, calling forth the glittering regalia of a medieval throne room, the dark echoes of an eerie dungeon, or the shadows of a foreboding forest.

Maleficent is here to show guests the wonders of her magical powers, inviting only the bravest in the lounge to approach her and be cast under her spell surrounded by lightning, fire, rain, and smoke in this lounge-turned-lair.

This is no friendly meet-and-greet… or is it? Guests can step into the darker side of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Princess and the Frog and meet the playfully sinister practitioner of the macabre, Dr. Facilier, to see if they can keep up with his swindles and scams in his makeshift parlor.

Can they spot a slight of hand? Roam the upper levels of the Grand Hall, and they just might find out. Go on, pick a card.

This piano bar is DARLING! The fashion icon, Cruella de Vil, is honored in every detail of De Vil’s, the one-of-a-kind piano lounge on board the Disney Destiny. Here, guests can literally “look out for Cruella de Vil,” and they just might catch a glimpse of the legendary diva herself in “Treblemaking with Cruella,” an invitation to help our beloved villain rework Roger Radcliffe’s classic tune to lyrics that suit her fancy and do justice to her marvelousness.

From lyrics to looks, they’ll also have the chance to show their most fearsome fits to Cruella herself in “Wretched Runway: A Cruella Fashion Show.” That is, if they can take some criticism.

Guests should don their most villainous, heroic, and Cruella-inspired couture (spots encouraged, of course!) as the reigning rogue en vogue dishes her most sincere compliments.

As if these marvelous encounters weren’t enough, guests should be sure to gather in the Grand Hall for a darker take on the traditional Disney Cruise Line “Kiss Goodnight,” when the chandelier becomes enchanted with an especially sinister glow complete with a surprise villain appearance onstage to offer them some extra-special “Kiss Goodnightmares.”
