At today’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, newly minted Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro announced that the ninth Disney Cruise Line ship will be named the Disney Believe. The ship is one of five new ships that are being built over the next five years.
Disney Believe Named as Next Disney Cruise Line Ship
The Disney Believe is the fourth ship in the groundbreaking Wish class, where beloved stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars surround families from the moment they step on board. From incredible entertainment to thoughtfully designed spaces, every detail is crafted to bring storytelling to life at sea.
But what makes the Wish class truly special is that each ship features its own unique design theme that shapes those stories, from the venues and experiences to the décor and entertainment. Like its sister ships — the enchantment-themed Disney Wish, adventure-themed Disney Treasure, and heroes and villains-themed Disney Destiny — the Disney Believe will have its own unique motif: one of promise and possibilities.
Onboard the Disney Believe, powerful tales of characters who believe in themselves and their dreams will come to life in exciting new ways. From the mystical worlds of Encanto and Frozen, to the wishing wells of Snow White, to the depths of the sea with Moana and The Little Mermaid, there are endless stories waiting to be discovered and new chapters ready to unfold onboard.
The Disney Believe is expected to debut in late 2027, and we can’t wait to share more information with you in the coming months.
There is more growth happening across Disney Experiences now than ever before in the company’s history. Joining the fleet during this unprecedented expansion, the Disney Believe builds on the Disney Cruise Line legacy of blending immersive storytelling with cutting-edge technology to create one-of-a-kind vacation experiences like only Disney can do.
The ongoing expansion will grow the fleet to 13 ships by 2031, including the Disney Adventure, which sailed its maiden voyage from Singapore on March 10; the Disney Believe, expected in late 2027; the introduction of a brand-new class of ships in 2029; and an agreement with  Disney and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) to introduce Disney cruise vacations to Japan in 2029.
