The Disney Destiny will also have many returning guest favorite venues and activities. Learn more below.

Here are all the details from Disney Cast Member Melanie Hager:

Like Loki, the Disney Destiny is destined for glorious purpose.

Today, we’re revealing all the epic ways you’ll be able to interact with the legendary Marvel Universe aboard our new heroes and villains-themed ship. The Disney Destiny will be home to new spaces and experiences inspired by Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Tony Stark and the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers.

Plus, to round out our three-day unveiling of the Disney Destiny, we’re sharing which guest-favorite venues, entertainment and recreation from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure will also be featured aboard this ship!

Living a Legend – Wakanda Forever

The Grand Hall of the Disney Destiny will be its most striking and prominent gathering space, welcoming you to a world of epic dualities: heroes and villains, adventure and relaxation. Presiding over the Grand Hall will be a stunning statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, devoted son and beloved brother sworn to protect his kingdom — and the Disney Destiny.

Just off the Grand Hall on decks four and five, you will be able to write your own vacation legends at Saga, a central hub for daytime family activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment. The two-story, state-of-the-art venue will host a variety of interactive shows and events in an elevated environment also inspired by the architecture of Wakanda.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Ship Decorator?

For the first time in Disney Cruise Line history, a Marvel Super Hero will be the signature stern character on the Disney Destiny. This signature larger-than-life sculpture will showcase Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots, who are making a well-meant, if a bit haphazard, attempt at decorating the filigree on the back of the ship with their infamous spider webs.

Supreme Location, Strange Libations

The Sanctum will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange.” Like all Sanctorums, this centrally located venue will contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world – but it will also be home to entertainment; a magical array or cocktails, spirits and coffees; and unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.

Tony Stark-Approved Luxury

In true Iron Man style, the Destiny Tower Suite will take the heroes and villains motif to new heights — literally. This Marvel-inspired penthouse will honor Iron Man with a luxurious take on the sleek, industrial designs of Tony Stark. Set high in the ship’s forward funnel, this one-of-a-kind suite will offer incredible views of the top deck and beyond through an expansive two-story window and nearly 2,000 square feet of living space.

The Destiny Tower Suite and all concierge-level accommodations will receive a premium level of dedicated service and access to exclusive areas and amenities, including the Concierge Lounge and private sun deck. On the Disney Destiny, the lounge will be outfitted with art that celebrates the Avengers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and will be inspired by the sophisticated styling of their Manhattan headquarters. This hero-worthy retreat will be the perfect place to relax, sip a cocktail, and enjoy complimentary food and beverages throughout the day.

It’s Time to Save the Galaxy (Again)

The Disney Destiny will also feature two guest-favorite experiences from the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure that are inspired by the Marvel Universe.

Worlds of Marvel, Disney Cruise Line’s Marvel-themed dining experience, will host an out-of-this-world celebration starring the lively duo of Rocket and Groot from the blockbuster Marvel Studios “Guardians of the Galaxy” films.

In Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids ages 3 to 10 will become the heroes of their own epic Disney adventures at Marvel Super Hero Academy, a high-tech Avengers headquarters where young “recruits” are trained to be the next generation of Super Heroes alongside some of their favorite Avengers.
