About Disney Believe
Disney Believe is the fourth Wish Class ship, under construction at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, with her maiden voyage set for December 18, 2027, from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Named at the 2026 Disney shareholders meeting, she carries a theme of promise and possibilities, honoring characters who believe in themselves. Tinker Bell flies on the bow, Woody and Buzz Lightyear stand on the stern and the Grand Hall is themed to Moana, with a bronze statue of Moana, Pua and Heihei and a chandelier that hides the heart of Te Fiti.
Disney has announced the world’s first stage adaptation of Encanto, exclusive to this ship, alongside Tangled: The Musical, moving from Disney Magic with a new set, and Disney Seas the Adventure. Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast is a new dinner show joining 1923 and the Worlds of Marvel Groot Remix in the rotation. New lounges include the Snow White-inspired Wishing Well, Sea Notes piano lounge from Ariel’s grotto, the Skygazers observatory pub and Gazelle, a Zootopia hub for families by day and adults by night. The Haunted Mansion Parlor, Palo Steakhouse, Enchanté and The Rose return.
Disney Believe will sail four- and five-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, each calling at Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point or both, with bookings open since October 2026. She suits families who want to be among the first aboard a new Disney ship on a short cruise from South Florida. Disney has not yet published tonnage, capacity or a stateroom count; sister ships Wish, Treasure and Destiny are about 144,000 gross tons with room for 4,000 guests.
