The next ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet will be named the ‘Disney Believe’ – named to honour “the dreamers and doers who dare to pursue their own happily ever after.”
New details about the ship, including its name and design theme were announced yesterday at the 2026 Walt Disney Company Annual Shareholders Meeting by Chief Executive Officer Josh D’Amaro during his first day at the helm of the company.
The Disney Believe is the fourth installment in Disney Cruise Line’s Wish class. A signature design feature of the Wish class is each ship’s distinctive motif – an imaginative theme that represents every part of the guest experience, from live entertainment to venues and décor.
Like its sister ships – the enchantment-themed Disney Wish, adventure-themed Disney Treasure and heroes and villains-themed Disney Destiny – the Disney Believe embodies its own unique story: one of promise and possibilities.
The Disney Believe will bring to life the magical worlds of “Encanto” and “Frozen,” the wishing wells of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and the depths of the sea with “Moana” and “The Little Mermaid” like never before.
There is more growth happening across Disney Experiences now than ever before in the company’s history. 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.
