Disney Cruise Line launched its sixth ship, the Disney Treasure, this week. Before formally launching next month, the ship will do preview sailings for guests and travel advisors in Florida, where it is now cruising.
The ship is the first of Disney Cruise Line's eight upcoming ships. Five unnamed ships beginning in 2027 are part of the roster, along with Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure, both of which are slated to make their debuts in late 2025. Those will be at least one more Wish-class ship.
The Disney Wish and the Treasure are sister ships with the identical specifications: 4,000 passengers and 144,256 gross tonnage. The number of pools, stateroom arrangements, and the rotating dining system—in which patrons spend each night in various major dining rooms served by the same servers—are among its similar design aspects.
During this week's preview, the Treasure team did, however, inform the media that their goal was to "innovate aggressively but intelligently," incorporating fresh Disney stories throughout the ship. Among other things, Treasure is a first for Disney Cruise Line when it joins the fleet. Three noteworthy additions are as follows:
1. Haunted Mansion Parlor
The Haunted Mansion Parlor is a unique idea that takes the place of the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge from the Disney Wish. It shows Disney's attempt to incorporate its intellectual property (IP) from theme parks into its cruise line.
The parlor transports visitors to a realm of spooky storytelling, modeled after lounges aboard ocean liners from the early 1900s. Madame Leota appears in a mirror behind the bar, and there are moving pictures and skeleton fish in a tank that divides the area.
Each party is allowed 30 minutes inside with reservations, which is ample time to have a drink and take in the plot of a sea captain's burial. While preparing a supper, his crew narrates his last journey. At night, the parlor is reserved for adults, but children are welcome during the day.
2. Plaza de Coco
Along with 1923 and World of Marvel, the Plaza de Coco, which made its debut on the Disney Treasure, is a part of the rotating dining system. It takes the place of the Disney Wish's Arendelle.
The restaurant serves supper and live entertainment, just as its competitors. While characters from Pixar's Coco perform on a central stage, guests eat Mexican food. During a seven-night cruise, guests spend two evenings at the restaurant where they enjoy two different shows: one honoring Día de Muertos and the other celebrating family.
Dim lighting, marigolds and family portraits on the walls, and references to the Coco Rivera family, such shoemaking gear strewn all over the place, are all part of the restaurant's immersive decor.
3. Periscope Pub
Keg and Compass from the Disney Wish are replaced with the Periscope Pub, the sports bar in the Disney Treasure. It has a large beer menu with three special taps and is themed after the iconic Walt Disney World attraction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage.
The pub's submarine-inspired design includes Captain Nemo relics, porthole-style windows overlooking the water, and an above LED screen depicting sea creatures. Bar seating, high-top tables, and leather booths are among the available seating arrangements.
Additional Highlights
Skipper Society: The Jungle Cruise attraction serves as the model for the bar and lounge outside the Haunted Mansion Parlor. It offers beer, wine, unique drinks, and small bites.
Entertainment: Based on the plot of the 2016 movie, the Treasure's entertainment roster include a brand-new stage production called Disney The Tale of Moana. The line's hallmark Beauty and the Beast stage play and the jukebox Seize the Adventure show are the other two performances at the theater.
The 2,000 square foot, two-story Tower Suite on the ship can accommodate eight people in four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the top deck, the ship allows suite guests to gaze out while preventing deck passengers from seeing in. There are four bedrooms, including one with bunk beds and a wheelchair-accessible full-floor bedroom with an accessible bathroom.
