Disney unveils more details on its brand-new cruise ship, launching next year

Disney has unveiled the name and details of its newest cruise ship, launching in 2027.

The Disney Believe gives a nod to those who chase their dreams and pursue their own happily ever after, which feels perfectly on-brand for the House of Mouse.

The vessel will tell a story centred on promise and possibilities, bringing some of Disney's most beloved characters to life at sea.

Guests can expect to be transported into the magical worlds of Encanto and Frozen, which is huge news for fans of those films. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will also feature, with the ship celebrating the classic tale's iconic wishing wells.

Both Moana and The Little Mermaid will take centre stage, plunging passengers into the depths of the sea like never before. The Disney Believe is the fourth ship in the Wish class, which has been a game-changer for family holidays at sea.

Each vessel in this lineup has its own distinctive theme that runs through absolutely everything, from the live shows to the restaurants and décor.

The Disney Wish kicked things off with an enchantment theme, while the Disney Treasure went for adventure.

The Disney Destiny celebrates heroes and villains, helping each ship feel completely unique. The new ship is enchantment-themed, so guests can expect to see nods to this throughout the vessel.
