Disney Cruise Line has revealed the maiden voyage date for its newest ship, Disney Believe, which will depart on December 18, 2027. The vessel will operate 4- and 5-night cruises from Port Everglades to the Bahamas and Caribbean destinations. This fourth ship in the Wish class continues the line’s ambitious fleet expansion plans toward thirteen ships by late 2030. The ship’s theme centers on belief in magic, family, nature, and self, featuring storytelling characters like Hugo and Beatrice from the Society of Seekers. Entertainment offerings include a world-first stage adaptation of Encanto alongside familiar shows like Captain Minnie Mouse and Goofy. Dining experiences span from the theater-in-the-round Oaken’s Table to Pluto’s Pita Platters, with lounges inspired by Snow White and The Little Mermaid. The standout feature is a two-story Tower Suite modeled after Magic Kingdom, sleeping eight guests across themed rooms.
