Are you ready to meet your destiny?
The Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams are hard at work with the crew at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany to bring Disney Cruise Line’s heroes and villains-themed ship, the Disney Destiny, to life.
Here on the Disney Destiny ship’s log, get an exclusive look at the shipbuilding process, along with behind-the-scenes looks at some of the exciting Disney stories coming to life inside. Be sure to bookmark this page for regular updates all the way through the ship’s maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
After a two-week transatlantic journey, the Disney Destiny has arrived in Florida! The heroes and villains-themed ship was welcomed by none other than Hero Minnie, along with a crowd of more than 250 cast members, as it pulled into Port Canaveral this evening, an exciting milestone before heading to its official homeport, Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The arrival celebration featured a special preview of a Disney Destiny-exclusive ship horn, a heroic arrangement of “Go the Distance,” inspired by the ship’s new Broadway-style show “Disney Hercules.” The ship will spend the next few weeks gearing up to welcome families on board for its maiden voyage on November 20.
To further celebrate the arrival of the Disney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line is introducing the “Discover Your Destiny” initiative, a new program committed to creating positive impacts in schools across port communities in Florida and The Bahamas. Throughout the inaugural season, Disney Cruise Line creative professionals will bring the magic of theater into classrooms through interactive experiences that highlight a wide range of entertainment careers, from behind-the-scenes to center stage.
The “Discover Your Destiny” initiative perfectly commemorates the launch of a ship full of one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences, inspiring students to dream big and discover their own destiny through the arts.
