Disney’s New Ship Treasure Debuts: 3 ‘Firsts’ for Disney Cruise Line
by Daniel McCarthy /This week, Disney Cruise Line christened the Disney Treasure, the cruise line’s sixth ship. The vessel is now sailing to Florida, where it will host preview sailings for travel advisors and guests before officially launching next month.
The ship is the first of eight new vessels planned for Disney Cruise Line. The lineup includes Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure, both scheduled to debut in late 2025, as well as five yet-to-be-named ships starting in 2027. At least one of those will be another Wish-class ship.
The Treasure is a sister ship to the Disney Wish, sharing the same specs—144,256 gross tons and a 4,000-passenger capacity. It features similar design elements, including the number of pools, stateroom layouts, and the rotational dining system, where guests rotate through different main dining rooms with the same servers each night.
However, the Treasure team told media during the preview this week that they aimed to “innovate aggressively but intelligently,” with new Disney stories woven in around the ship. As part of that, Treasure comes to the fleet with several firsts for Disney Cruise Line. Here are three standout additions:
1. Haunted Mansion Parlor
The Haunted Mansion Parlor, which replaces the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge from the Disney Wish, is a first-of-its-kind concept. It demonstrates Disney’s effort to integrate its theme park intellectual property (IP) into its cruise line.
Inspired by lounges on early 1900s ocean liners, the parlor immerses guests in a world of eerie storytelling. The space includes shifting portraits, skeleton fish in a room-dividing tank, and Madame Leota, who appears in a mirror behind the bar.
Reservations are required, and each group is given 30 minutes inside—enough time to enjoy a drink and experience the storyline of a sea captain’s funeral. His crew recounts his final voyage while a meal is prepared. While kids are welcome during the day, the parlor is adult-only at night.
2. Plaza de Coco
The Plaza de Coco, debuting on the Disney Treasure, is part of the rotational dining system alongside 1923 and World of Marvel. It replaces Arendelle from the Disney Wish.
Like its counterparts, the restaurant pairs dinner with live entertainment. Guests dine on Mexican dishes while characters from Pixar’s Coco perform on a central stage. Over two nights at the restaurant during a seven-night cruise, diners experience two distinct shows: one celebrating family and the other honoring Día de Muertos.
The restaurant’s immersive design includes dim lighting, walls adorned with family photos and marigolds, and nods to the Coco Rivera family, such as shoemaking tools scattered throughout the space.
3. Periscope Pub
The Periscope Pub, the Disney Treasure’s sports bar, replaces Keg and Compass from the Disney Wish. Themed after the classic Walt Disney World attraction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage, it offers an extensive beer menu, including three exclusive taps.
Designed to resemble a submarine, the pub features an overhead LED screen showing sea monsters, porthole-style windows with ocean views, and Captain Nemo artifacts. Seating options include leather booths, high-top tables, and bar seating.
Other Highlights
- Skipper Society: The bar and lounge outside the Haunted Mansion Parlor draws inspiration from the Jungle Cruise attraction. It serves signature cocktails, beer, wine, and light snacks.
- Entertainment: A new stage show, Disney The Tale of Moana, headlines the Treasure’s entertainment lineup, following the storyline of the 2016 film. The other two shows in the theatre is the jukebox Seize the Adventure show and the line’s signature Beauty and the Beast stage show.
- The ship’s two-story Tower Suite comes in at 2,000 sq. ft, sleeping 8 in four bedrooms and four and a half bedrooms. The ship features floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the ship’s top deck, designed so suite guests can see out but guests on the deck can’t see in. One of the four bedrooms features bunk beds, and another is a full bedroom on the bottom floor that is wheelchair accessible with an accessible bathroom.
