Disney Believe Announced as the Next Disney Cruise Line Ship | News
New details about the next Disney Cruise Line ship, including the ship’s name and design theme, were announced today at the 2026 Walt Disney Company Annual Shareholders Meeting by Chief Executive Officer Josh D’Amaro during his historic first day at the helm of the company.
Fittingly unveiled during an exciting moment of optimism and transformation for the company, the next ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet will be named Disney Believe, in honor of the dreamers and doers who dare to pursue their own happily ever after.
Disney Believe is the fourth installment in Disney Cruise Line’s groundbreaking Wish class, which has redefined family vacations at sea. A signature design feature of the Wish class is each ship’s signature motif: an imaginative theme that shapes every part of the guest experience, from live entertainment to locations and decor. Like its sister ships – the enchantment-themed Disney Wish, the adventure-themed Disney Treasure and the heroes and villains Disney Destiny – the Disney Believe has its own unique story to tell: a story of promise and possibility.
Filled with powerful stories of Disney characters who believe in themselves, their dreams and the promise and possibility of a better future, Disney Believe will bring the magical worlds of ‘Encanto’ and ‘Frozen’, the wishing wells of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ and the depths of the sea of ’Moana’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’ to life like never before.
There is more growth happening within Disney Experiences now than ever before in the company’s history. Joining the fleet during this unprecedented expansion, Disney Believe builds on the Disney Cruise Line legacy of combining immersive storytelling with cutting-edge technology to create unique vacation experiences as only Disney can. Continued expansion will grow the fleet to thirteen ships by 2031, including the Disney Adventure, which made its maiden voyage from Singapore on March 10; the Disney Believe, expected in late 2027; the introduction of a brand new class of ships in 2029; and an agreement with Disney and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) to introduce Disney cruise vacations to Japan in 2029.
