Welcome aboard the Disney Believe, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet! The fourth ship of the Wish class, the Disney Believe celebrates Disney characters who believe in themselves, in their dreams, and in the promise of new horizons. She sets sail on her maiden voyage on December 18, 2027, from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
From the world-premiere Disney Encanto stage musical to an all-new Frozen family dining adventure, the Disney Believe blends brand-new experiences with the Disney Cruise Line favorites families love. Booking opens to the general public on October 19, 2026, with earlier booking days for Castaway Club members and other select groups.
The heart of the Disney Believe takes its inspiration from Disney Animation’s Moana. A bronze statue of Moana, joined by her companions Pua and Heihei, gazes toward new horizons, surrounded by artisanal Polynesian finishes that honor the film’s Pacific Islands setting. Look down to an ocean-hued carpet glowing with bioluminescent colors, and look up to a chandelier shaped like the flowing sea, with the heart of Te Fiti hidden inside.
The storytelling starts before you even step aboard. Woody and Buzz Lightyear “write” the ship’s name across the stern with giant yellow crayons, while a hand-painted filigree of Tinker Bell graces the bow, flanked by silhouettes of Peter Pan, Wendy and Captain Hook.
Dining onboard Disney Believe
Dinner on the Disney Believe brings together one brand-new restaurant and two family favorites from its Wish-class sister ships. Guests rotate among all three during your cruise, so every night is a new adventure.
