We’re sharing a complete guide to the restaurants, lounges, and dining experiences that will be available onboard the Disney Destiny when it sets sail in 2025.
Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny , will officially be setting sail starting November 25, 2025. The new addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet has a focus on the heroes (and villains!) of Disney storytelling, themed with elements, entertainment, dining, and more around some of Disney’s most exciting tales. We’re sharing a complete guide to the restaurants, lounges, and dining experience that Disney has revealed so far as coming to the Disney Destiny.
Disney Destiny Bars and Lounges

De Vil’s
A brand-new piano lounge inspired by Cruella de Vil, the villain of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ One Hundred and One Dalmatians and the 2021 Cruella live-action film, is coming to the Disney Destiny. The over-the-top decor will be inspired by Cruella’s flair for style and bold attitude (of course!).
Located just beyond the Grand Hall, a marquee spells out “De Vil’s” in letters designed to look like piano keys. A floor mosaic at the entrance reads Cruella’s catchphrase, “How Marvelous,” surrounded by 15 paw prints. Once inside the lounge, you’ll notice uniquely shaped furnishings with rich textures and couture fabrics, drawing inspiration from Cruella’s black and white color palette, accented with red. The carpet features a design that appears ink-splotched and hand-drawn as a tribute to Ken Anderson, the artist who oversaw the stylized designs of the characters in One Hundred and One Dalmatians . And, of course, the star of the lounge is the piano, which is spotted with dalmatian dots!

Cruella herself will also make appearances, including hosting a runway fashion show where she will provide live commentary as guests show off their stylish selves.
A few highlights from the menu include:
- Fashionista: Freeze-dried strawberry and banana-infused Patron Añejo Cristalino Tequila with banana liqueur, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice clarified with milk and chilled. Served with strawberry shortcake popcorn
- Fearless Sir Galahad: Free Spirits Non-alcoholic Bourbon, bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, and Angostura bitters finished with aromatic smoke
Cask and Cannon
Drink up, me hearties – Cask and Cannon on the Disney Destiny is going to be filled with the spirit of adventure! Inspired by the classic Disney Parks attraction Pirates of the Caribbean, this bar will be home to enjoy rum and the spoils of pilfering and plundering at sea.

Inside Cask and Cannon, guests will be treated to scenes and characters they know and love from versions of Pirates of the Caribbean from around the world. Furnished with treasures from the pirates’ voyages around the world, the cozy watering hole will feature plenty of rum (and other spirits, too.)
Haunted Mansion Parlor
If you’ve been excited to experience the Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard the Disney Treasure , we’ve got great news: a second Haunted Mansion Parlor is coming to the Disney Destiny!
Featuring the same Disney Cruise Line-exclusive seafaring storyline and some exclusively spooky extras, guests can head to the Haunted Mansion Parlor onboard Disney’s newest cruise ship to sip cocktails with their fellow happy haunts and explore some exclusive merchandise, too.
The Sanctum
Step inside the Sanctum, located just off the Grand Hall, and you’ll find Disney Cruise Line’s first-ever lounge inspired by Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange .

Inside, you’ll be enchanted by the powerful sorcerers and mystical artifacts of the Sanctum, seen in Doctor Strange – and keep an eye out for items that are designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world! This lounge will feature unique surprises straight out of Doctor Strange’s own New York Sanctum (including a circular mirror that evokes the building’s iconic window), like the Cloak of Levitation and spell brooks from the library of Kamar-Taj.
The menu will feature cocktails, mocktails, spirits, and coffees, with tableside beverage experiences and exclusive menu items. This will include:
- Circle of the Cosmos: Brunswick Aces Diamonds Gin, verjus blanc, and fresh lemon juice garnished with a lemon peel spiral

In a behind-the-scenes look, Walt Disney Imagineers Beth Burkhardt and Rachel Willcoxon could be seen reviewing textile samples, such as custom cloud-like carpet pattern and wallpaper with hidden designs of Pegasus leaping through the clouds.
Café Merida
Also located just off the Grand Hall, Café Merida will serve a menu that’s similar to the one found at Café Megara. Here, though, the theming will be inspired by the bold heroine of Pixar’s Brave , with plenty of Celtic-inspired touches.

No matter which option you choose, Disney Cruise Line favorites will return aboard the Destiny, including:
