The new Disney Cruise Line ship will offer four- and five-night Caribbean and Bahamas sailings, with general bookings opening in October 2026.
Disney has unveiled the Disney Believe, which is scheduled to depart on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Dec. 18, 2027. General bookings are set to open Oct. 19, 2026.
The ship will operate four- and five-night cruises to the Caribbean and The Bahamas. Its itineraries will include visits to Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Disney said the vessel will premiere the first stage adaptation of Encanto, developed exclusively for the Disney Believe. It will also introduce a Frozen family dining experience centered on a previously untold story featuring Oaken, Anna and Kristoff.
Additional planned features include a Grand Hall inspired by Moana and new spaces celebrating Inside Out 2, Big Hero 6 and Zootopia. Disney Cruise Line has selected Trent Hitchcock as the ship’s opening cruise director.
Construction has also advanced with the completion and shipyard float-out of the first of three gigablocks for the vessel, which is expected to enter service in 2027.
