Disney Cruise Ships: Basic Information
The Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder are very similar to each other, except for the interior design (Art Deco for the Magic, Art Nouveau for the Wonder) and a few differently-themed bars. Both are 83,000-ton vessels with 875 staterooms (2,700 passengers maximum). These were Disney Cruise Line’s first 2 ships.
The Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy are also very similar to each other, except for the interior design (Art Deco for the Disney Dream, Art Nouveau for the Disney Fantasy), plus some additional water features, differently-themed bars and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the Fantasy. Both are 122,000 tons and two decks taller than the older ships, with 1,250 staterooms (4,000 passengers maximum).
The Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, Disney Destiny and Disney Believe are all Wish Class ships. They are somewhat similar in size to the Disney Dream and Fantasy, but have a “storybook castle” interior design and a somewhat different layout of lounges, pools and kids clubs than the previous ships. Each Wish Class ship has a different overall theme for their design and décor, and most of the lounges and spaces are themed to a Disney, Pixar or Marvel film or character, or a theme park ride (for example, the Haunted Mansion Parlor on some of the ships). They are all 144,000 tons, with 1,254 staterooms (4,000 passengers maximum). The Disney Believe will have its maiden voyage on December 18, 2027.
The Disney Adventure is a completely unique ship for Disney Cruise Line. It was purchased partially built and sails exclusively from Singapore. The ship has 7 themed areas, including the Disney Imagination Garden and San Fransokyo Street. Duffy and Friends make appearances and there is a Duffy and Friends shop. It has 1,954 staterooms (6,700 passengers maximum).
The Disney Imagination, setting sail in spring 2029, will be the first Disney Cruise Line ship operated by Oriental Land Co., the same company that owns and operates Tokyo Disney. It will sail out of Tokyo, Japan.
