We toured Disney's newest cruise ship. These are its 11 coolest amenities, from a Jungle Cruise lounge to 'Moana' and 'Mulan' cafΓ©s
- Disney Cruise Line plans to double its cruise ship fleet over the next seven years.
- Its newest ship, Disney Treasure, is scheduled to launch in late December.
- These are Disney Treasure's 11 coolest amenities.
It's time to grab your Mickey-printed swimsuit: Disney Cruise Line is bringing back the magic of its movies and theme parks to the high sea with its sixth cruise ship, the coming 4,000-guest Disney Treasure.
Treasure might look familiar if you've been aboard its sister ship, Disney Wish. To stand out from its predecessor, the new 1,119-foot-long vessel has several newly designed amenities, including a new water ride and a sweets shop inspired by the one in Zootopia.
Business Insider toured the ship ahead of its maiden voyage in late December. These are its 11 coolest features, including several adults-only experiences.
Plaza de Coco's dining tables surround a stage, creating a dinner-and-a-show experience.
The venue hosts two different performances depending on the day, so there is no need to fear repeating a show if you go twice.
(BI previewed one of the shows and can confirm it's pretty entertaining for kids and adults.)
If you've seen "Zootopia," you might remember store owner Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. and his Jumbeaux Cafe.
On Disney Treasure, the talking elephant's ice cream parlor comes to life with Jumbeaux's Sweets, a dessert shop with various treats and more than 31 ice cream and gelato flavors.
Disney is best known for being a family-friendly brand. That doesn't mean adults must be surrounded by children throughout their vacation.
For example, "The Lion King"-inspired Sarabi lounge has a variety of family activities during the day. At night, it becomes an adult-only venue with live shows.
Palo Steakhouse, also available on Disney Wish, features Italian fare and a design inspired by "Beauty and the Beast"'s Cogsworth.
Disney bills the EnchantΓ©, a "Beauty and the Beast"-inspired French restaurant, as the most luxurious dining experience on board. Its menu was created by Arnaud Lallement, the chef and owner of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant L'Assiette Champenoise in Paris.
The two restaurants meet at The Rose, another adult-only lounge.
The thematic lounge serves light snacks and beverages. Foliage hangs from the ceiling, and themed drinks (like the non-alcoholic Jungle Juice or the boozy Piranha Punch) can be enjoyed at the bar or private booths.
The watering hole is a first for the cruise line, inspired by the 1954 Disney flick "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and the Disney Parks ride that shut down in 1994.
Here, guests can again eat, drink, and catch up on the news and sports.
The full menu includes burgers and wings, specialty cocktails, and several beers on tap.
Interior staterooms make up more than 120 of these accommodations.
For a more luxurious option, pick one of the 76 premium concierge cabins, which includes access to an exclusive sun deck.
The ultra-luxe Tomorrow Tower Suite sleeps up to eight people across its four bedrooms, one of which has a specialty bunk bed designed for children.
The atrium has its own stage. For a mid-show pick-me-up, head to the Heihei or Jade Cricket cafΓ©s.
The former is inspired by "Moana's" fictional island of Montuni, named after the title character's rooster sidekick, while the latter is a callback to "Mulan."
The two-person AquaMouse: Curse of the Golden Egg water ride brings travelers through 760 feet of tubes on a quest to follow Mickey and Minnie Mouse into an "ancient temple."
Both vessels offer Worlds of Marvel, an interactive Marvel-themed restaurant, and Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas, a luxurious theater where guests can watch recently released movies.
Like other Disney cruises, travelers on Treasure can see their favorite movies adapted in live theater.
Other Disney ships feature a live production of "Beauty and the Beast" β Treasure's new show is based on "Moana."
If life at sea with Disney is calling out to you, sailings on the Treasure start at $3,931 for its seven-night itineraries in 2025.
