The newest ship coming to theDisney Cruise Line fleet is the Disney Believe, which will be the cruise line’s ninth ship and the fourth ship in the Wish Class. The Disney Believe will be setting sail for the first time in late 2027, but Disney has been sharing new information about the ship throughout the year.

The new ship’s experiences will be shaped by some of the most beloved Disney stories such as Encanto, Frozen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Moana, and The Little Mermaid. For a while, we’ve been waiting to hear what kind of experiences the ship will offer inspired by these characters and stories. Well, Disney just announced something BIG regarding the entertainment on the ship!

Disney just shared that the Disney Believe will have a new Encanto-themed stage show (and yes, our entire team is losing our minds). Some cast members came out to sing songs from the movie.

This is the first time Encanto has been seen on stage!

We wish it played every night because we would watch it every night (okay, but we got to see the other shows, too).

There will also be a Tangled-themed show with a new set design from other cruises. Also, can we talk about the concept art? They better sell posters for everything because we love it.

In the summer, Disney shared some other details regarding the Disney Believe during the D23 Expo. It was announced that the Disney Believe’s bow will feature one of the most iconic characters, Tinker Bell. Her silhouette will be “flanked by the silhouettes of Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, and other characters from the film flying amid the swirling design.” The details look amazing!

It was also announced that the stern of the ship will feature everyone’s favorite duo, Woody and Buzz. The two will appear to be working together to etch the ship’s name on the back of the vessel. We can’t wait to see what this looks like when it’s complete.

Lastly, Disney also shared that when you step inside the ship and enter the Grand Hall, you’ll see the bronze cast statue of Moana and her companions, Pua and Hei Hei. It was only a matter of time until we saw Moana as a big part of a Disney cruise, and now the time has come.

We’re expecting Disney to be sharing a lot more news about the Disney Believe until the ship is ready to set sail. For all the latest news and updates, make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog!
