Disney Ships by Age: Newest to Oldest (2025)

Disney-Destiny-Float-Out

Disney Cruise Line may not have the biggest fleet at sea, but you'll find magic aboard each of its six (soon to be eight) ships. 

The first, Disney Magic, launched in 1998 and was followed shortly after by Disney Wonder. These were the only two vessels in the fleet for over a decade, until they were joined by Disney Dream in 2011 and Disney Fantasy in 2012. 

In 2022, Disney Cruise Line entered a new and rapid era of growth with the addition of Disney Wish in 2022 and Disney Treasure in 2024. There are even more ships on the horizon, signaling that Disney wants to increase its passenger capacity and give its loyal fan base more magical vacation options than ever before. 

Here's a look at Disney Cruise Line's fleet, starting with the newest ships set to enter service in 2025. 

Disney Adventure age (launching December 2025)

Gross tonnage: ~ 208,000

Length: 1,122 feet 

Width: 151 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): ~ 6,000

Disney is launching its biggest cruise ship ever in 2025. Disney Adventure will sail exclusively from Singapore, another milestone for the line. 

Funny enough, the ship wasn't built for Disney. Instead, the massive vessel was initally ordered by Genting Hong Kong. Disney, however, acquired the ship in 2022 for over $40 million. 

Onboard, guests can enjoy seven themed areas: Marvel Landing, Toy Story Place, San Fransokyo Street, Disney Imagination Garden, Disney Discovery Reef, Wayfinder Bay, and Town Square. 

Disney Destiny age (launching November 2025)

Gross tonnage: 144,000

Length: 1,119 feet 

Width: 135 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 4,000

The third Wish Class cruise ship is set to enter service in November 2025. Disney Destiny will have a "Heroes and Villains theme, capturing the most beloved and infamous characters from Disney stories like 101 Dalmatians, Hercules, and more. 

Cruisers can look forward to a special Lion King-themed dining room, brand-new theater show, a 760-foot AquaMouse water slide with a unique Villains-focused show, and more. 

The brand-new vessel will sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

Disney Treasure age (2024)

Gross tonnage: 144,000

Length: 1,119 feet 

Width: 128 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 4,000

The newest ship in operation for Disney Cruise Line is Disney Treasure. Disney Treasure's maiden voyage took place on Dec. 21, 2024. 

Unlike Disney Wish, Disney Treasure sails on longer voyages from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida. As such, guests have more time to enjoy the ship and get their bearings. 

Highlights of the ship include the Coco-themed immersive dining experience, Moana musical, the Haunted Mansion bar, and more. 

Disney Wish age (2022)

Gross tonnage: 144,000

Length: 1,119 feet 

Width: 128 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 4,000

Disney Cruise Line went through a decade-long pause from 2012 to 2022. No new ships were launched. Instead, they focused on updating their older ships and keeping a modest fleet. 

As such, Disney Wish rocketed the cruise line into a new era with new ship designs, bold dining concepts, and more. For example, Disney Wish is the only ship in the fleet to feature the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge. It's also the first-ever cruise ship that got a special Marvel-themed dining room, effectively replacing the Animator's Palate.

Disney Wish sails from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, on 3 and 4-night getaways to The Bahamas. 

Disney Fantasy age (2012)

Gross tonnage: 130,000

Length: 1,115 feet 

Width: 125 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 4,000

Disney Fantasy launched one year after the Dream Class namesake, Disney Dream. Generally speaking, there are fewer differences between these ships than those in the Wish Class. 

Both, for instance, have the same three rotating dining restaurants, and the staterooms have the same nautical décor as the line's older vessels. Next year, Disney Fantasy and Dream will be in Europe for the summer, too. 

Still, Disney Fantasy has some unique touches, such as the bronze Minnie statue in the atrium.

Disney Dream age (2011)

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 4,000

As the first Dream Class ship, Disney Dream really set a new standard for Disney Cruise Line. 

Before Disney Dream, Disney's only vessels were Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, both of which measured under 90,000 gross registered tons. Comparatively, Royal Caribbean had already launched two mega Oasis Class ships by 2011. 

Disney Dream introduced larger public spaces, new amenities, and innovative features like the AquaDuck water coaster on the top deck. 

Disney Wonder age (1999)

Gross tonnage: 84,130

Length: 965 feet 

Width: 106 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 2,400

Disney Wonder is one of Disney's oldest and smallest cruise ships. However, they've taken great care of the vessel over the years. 

Although the ship itself has less to offer compared to Disney Treasure and the upcoming Disney Destiny, it remains a beloved favorite for its classic charm and intimacy. 

Disney Wonder is the only ship in the fleet to offer seasonal cruises to Alaska. 

Disney Magic age (1998)

Disney-Magic-Docked

Gross tonnage: 83,338

Length: 964 feet 

Width: 106 feet 

Number of passengers (maximum occupancy): 2,400

Disney's first-ever purpose-built cruise ship hit the high seas in 1998. Before that, however, they partnered with Premier Cruise Line from 1985 to 1993, which allowed Disney characters to sail on board "The Big Red Boat." 

Today, Disney Magic, like Disney Wonder, remains a favorite for those who appreciate the ship's nostalgic feel. The onboard amenities might not be as cutting-edge as on other ships, but they've kept the ship more up-to-date than you might think. 

For example, Rapunzel's Royal Table was added during the ship's 2018 dry dock.
