Disney Treasure: Everything we know about Disney Cruise Line’s next ship


In just a few months, Disney Cruise Line will welcome its next ship, 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure, to the fleet when the 144,000-ton ship sets sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, with its first paying guests.

After a 10-year pause in growth, the cruise line is currently in a rapid era of expansion.

In 2022, Disney Wish became the first of three all-new Triton Class ships to join Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. In December 2024, Disney Treasure will join the fleet as the second of three Triton Class ships. Disney Destiny is scheduled to round out that Triton trio in 2025. Disney will also welcome Disney Adventure, the largest of the new ships, in 2025 to sail out of Singapore, and an unnamed ship, based on the Triton Class design, to sail from Tokyo starting in 2029.

From a new theme and new restaurants and bars to announced Caribbean itineraries, here’s everything we know so far about Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure theme

Disney Treasure will share much of its footprint and layout with its sister ship, Disney Wish. However, it will have a distinct look that’s less “bright-and-airy fairy tale” than Wish and more “mysterious adventure.”

Based on renderings, Disney Treasure will feature a Grand Hall that leans into a palette of deep blue, turquoise and gold. Its design is inspired by gilded palaces from faraway places such as Asia and Africa — including the fictitious city of Agrabah from Disney’s “Aladdin.”

Fittingly, the statue in the Grand Hall will feature Jasmine, Aladdin and Magic Carpet ready to go on an adventure, which is the theme of the ship.

Captain Minnie will even wear a special adventure-seeking outfit while on board Disney Treasure. She will appear on the ship’s bow. Out on the stern, the adventurous duo of Peter Pan and Captain Hook will sail along wherever Disney Treasure may take them.

Disney Treasure cabins

Disney Treasure will have 1,256 cabins and suites ranging from interior cabins to a two-story funnel suite — all reflecting the theme of adventure. Disney movies like “Aladdin,” “Pocahontas,” “Finding Nemo,” “Up,” “Luca” and “Encanto” will be incorporated into the decor of interior, ocean-view and verandah cabins.

The Concierge Suites, specifically, will feature nods to “The Lion King,” while the four Royal Suites pay homage to the tigers found in “The Jungle Book” and “Aladdin.”

The signature suite on the ship will be the two-story Tomorrow Tower Suite.

Disney Wish introduced the concept of a nearly 2,000-square-foot, multiroom suite in the ship’s faux funnel. While its Tower Suite was “Moana” themed, Disney Treasure’s version will feature a futuristic design inspired by Epcot. The Tomorrow Tower Suite can sleep up to eight guests. If you want to book this stunner, prepare for sticker shock. This suite can go for $50,000 (or more) for a weeklong sailing for a family of four.

Disney Treasure restaurants

Each Disney ship has three included restaurants that guests and their dining team rotate through each night at either an early or late dinner seating. On Disney Treasure, one restaurant will be new to the fleet. Two will return from Disney Wish but with a slightly different spin.

Plaza de Coco

This all-new restaurant is only found on Disney Treasure. Plaza de Coco is a Mexican restaurant set after the events of the movie “Coco.”

It’s replacing the “Frozen”-themed space found on Disney Wish. A similar concept, the restaurant is a “dinner in the round” experience with music, dancing and characters from the “Coco” film performing on stage and making their way around the room during dinner.

As with all the restaurants on Treasure, guests will be scheduled to dine here at least twice, so Plaza de Coco will offer two unique shows.

You can look forward to menu options such as Enrique’s port wine-braised beef short rib; Abuelita Elena’s shrimp diabla; chorizo street croquettes with chili-lime crema, cotija cheese and cilantro; a blistered poblano pepper stuffed with Oaxaca cheese and green rice; warm coconut tres leches with milk; and margarita lime cheesecake.

Worlds of Marvel

As on Disney Wish, Disney Treasure passengers will enjoy the Worlds of Marvel restaurant. Due to Treasure’s longer itineraries, which ensure at least two visits to each restaurant, a new second show featuring Rocket and Groot will be added to the Worlds of Marvel lineup.

This new show, “Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix,” will be a music-fueled celebration that honors Marvel superheroes and gives guests a chance to test their knowledge of the Marvel universe.

“Quantum Encounter,” the Marvel-themed dinner show on Disney Wish, will also be on Disney Treasure, though in a slightly updated way.

1923

Another Disney Wish restaurant that will be on Disney Treasure is 1923, a California-themed restaurant named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded. The restaurant is adorned with props, art and decor from Disney’s decades of storytelling. On Disney Treasure, the memorabilia will be from Disney’s more adventurous films and stories.

Jumbeaux’s Sweets

Jumbeaux’s Sweets is a new ice cream parlor and candy shop debuting on Treasure. It’s inspired by Jumbeaux’s Cafe in the movie “Zootopia,” and the venue will feature statues of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

Adults-only restaurants

As with Disney Wish, Disney Treasure will have Palo Steakhouse, Enchante and The Rose, a bar located at the entrance to both. Guests ages 18 and older can visit them for an additional fee. I’d argue this is some of the best money you can spend at sea, given how enjoyable the meals are.

Not just for grownups, the fast-casual, upper-deck Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods will also be on board Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure bars

Skipper Society

Disney Cruise Line is doing something a bit different with its newest ship, and that’s theming onboard spaces to park attractions, not just Disney characters and movies. This concept is evident in the new Skipper Society bar on Disney Treasure.

Skipper Society takes the place of The Bayou on Wish. It’s inspired by Disney’s Jungle Cruise ride and its wisecracking skippers. Here, guests will find a menu of themed cocktails and light snacks, such as waffles.

Periscope Pub

A second new bar is Periscope Pub, inspired by Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (and Disney’s 1954 movie version of the book and theme park attraction). It will replace Wish’s Keg & Compass as Disney Treasure’s sports bar. The bar is designed to look like the Nautilus submarine from the story, complete with a giant periscope, porthole windows and a ceiling designed to look like you’re underwater. Watch out for the giant squid below!

The Haunted Mansion Parlor

Disney will replace the popular “Star Wars”-themed Hyperspace Lounge, which debuted on Disney Wish, with the Haunted Mansion Parlor on Disney Treasure. This spooky watering hole is inspired by the creepy atmosphere and happy haunts of the Haunted Mansion park attraction.

The bar will be designed to resemble a first-class drawing room on a classic oceanliner that’s been taken into the ghostly realm. Guests can indulge in specialty cocktails (including spirit-free versions) with ghostly messages and ghoulish embellishments (gummy eyeballs, anyone?). They can also spot homages to the original park attraction and its cast of ghostly characters, as well as become acquainted with new seafaring haunts.

Passengers enamored with the Haunted Mansion Parlor will find themed souvenirs in the ship’s onboard shops, so they can take home a mirror full of hitchhiking ghosts or a clock that strikes the 13th hour to start up some ghoulish revelry.

Scat Cat Lounge

Just off the ship’s Grand Hall is another all-new space designed for adults found only on Disney Treasure: Scat Cat Lounge. This jazzy space where “everybody wants to be a cat” is inspired by Disney’s “The Aristocats” animated film, which was set in Europe circa 1910.

Inside the lounge, you’ll find hanging lanterns, a baby grand piano and a menu of craft cocktails. On the menu are options such as the Creme de la Creme Martini and the Cat Drink, made with clarified bourbon, amaro, Aperol and fresh lemon, which creates a near-translucent cocktail that highlights the cat design at the bottom of the glass.

Disney Treasure activities

Broadway-style shows

Disney Treasure will debut “Disney The Tale of Moana” as its new Broadway-style musical. The show will mark the first time Disney has brought the story of Moana to the stage. The musical will feature popular songs and favorite characters from the animated movie.

“Beauty and the Beast” and “Disney Seas the Adventure” will be the two returning Broadway-caliber shows running on the ship’s main stage, the Walt Disney Theatre.

AquaMouse

AquaMouse, Disney’s water ride that debuted on Disney Wish, will also be a signature attraction on Disney Treasure. As on Wish, riders will enjoy an animated adventure with Disney characters before they start twisting and turning around the ship. Treasure will add a third, new show to the rotation of animated shorts, along with the two from Wish.

Called “Curse of the Golden Egg,” the animation will follow Mickey and Minnie as they search for lost treasure inside an ancient temple. This new show will eventually be added to the AquaMouse rotation on Disney Wish.

Sarabi

“The Lion King”-themed Sarabi will be the ship’s two-story, multipurpose entertainment zone (replacing Luna from Disney Wish).

When will Disney Treasure set sail?

Disney Treasure’s maiden voyage is set for Dec. 21, 2024. It will be a seven-night sailing from Port Canaveral (near Orlando). The sailing includes stops at Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Castaway Cay, the line’s private island in the Bahamas. Passengers will enjoy three sea days to rest up from their adventures ashore.

The ship will sail weeklong Caribbean cruises throughout its maiden season. Most of the ship’s Eastern Caribbean itineraries will include the same ports, but a few swap out St. Thomas for San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Disney Treasure will also offer seven-night Western Caribbean sailings with two sea days and ports of call in Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands; Falmouth, Jamaica; and Castaway Cay.

This is different from the itineraries on Disney Wish, which are three- and four-night sailings to the Bahamas. The longer itineraries will give guests more time to enjoy the ship, and Disney has created more experiences to keep them entertained.

How much does it cost to sail on Disney Treasure?

Fares for a Disney Treasure cruise are a bit higher than some of Disney’s other ships because it’s the line’s newest ship and only offers weeklong itineraries. The other ships have the option of shorter, less expensive itineraries.

Rates start at $4,211 for an inside cabin (double occupancy) or $6,741 for a family of four. The cost for verandah cabins starts at a little over $8,000 for a family, and concierge cabins start at around $13,000.

You’ll find the lowest prices on off-peak sailing dates, often in September, as well as dates outside of popular school vacation times.

Bottom line

Since 2012, Disney Cruise Line has operated a fleet of four ships, but 2022 marked the start of a period of rapid growth for the line. It welcomed Disney Wish in 2022, Disney Treasure will set sail in late 2024 and the third Triton Class ship, Disney Destiny, is scheduled to join the fleet in 2025.

Disney also made a surprise purchase of one of the world’s largest cruise ships. That vessel, Disney Adventure, will join the fleet and operate out of Singapore beginning in 2025. The cruise line will also introduce a new ship to the Japanese cruise market in 2029 with short sailings out of Tokyo.

Additionally, the cruise line added a new highest tier, Pearl, in its Castaway Club loyalty program to mark Disney’s 25th year of cruise operations. Its second private island in the Bahamas, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, opened this summer.

It’s an exciting time to be a Disney Cruise Line fan. Stay tuned for more information about Disney Treasure as additional details are released leading up to the Dec. 21, 2024, maiden voyage.
