Disney Cruise Line is continuing its week of announcements about its upcoming ship Disney Destiny by revealing details on some of the vessel’s bars and lounges today.
Cask and Cannon
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho! At Cask and Cannon, passengers will join the ranks of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” for an evening of revelry, recreation, and — of course — rum. Inspired by the characters and scenes from the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world, the new pub will be an eclectic yet cozy watering hole furnished with treasures “acquired” (read: pillaged and plundered) during the pirates’ many voyages around the world.
Visiting buccaneers will regale one another with tales of their own adventures, cheer during live televised sporting events, and indulge in an extensive menu of rare, specialty, and vintage rums and a selection of “bootlegged” brews developed specially for the venue and served straight from the barrel in true pirate style.
De Vil’s Piano Lounge
An evening at De Vil’s piano lounge will be a lavish affair emblematic of the bar’s namesake, the over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil of the animated “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” and the 2021 live-action film.
Cruella’s infamous flair for style and bold attitude will be reflected in the Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic of the adults-only lounge, where everything will be red, black, and white. Amid sultry tunes from the spotted piano, guests will wind down in style with trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wine and bubblies.
One side of De Vil’s will be open to the Grand Hall atrium, allowing guests to sit back with a drink and view of the ship’s main gathering space.
Villainous AquaMouse Adventure
Disney Destiny will introduce a quirky new storyline filled with Disney villains to AquaMouse, a 760-foot-long water ride towering over the upper decks of the ship. Featuring an original soundtrack, the new show will exemplify the signature silliness of Mickey Mouse animated shorts.
In “Sing a Silly Song,” Mickey and Minnie will lead guests on a seemingly ominous trek to the peak of Villain Mountain. When faced with some of Disney Animation’s most fearsome villains, the duo will employ a silly song — and a bit of pixie dust — to transform each scary encounter into a wacky surprise. Guests will laugh and splash along as Queen of Hearts, Scar, Chernabog, and others find themselves in hilarious situations.
“Sing a Silly Song” will be one of four shows available on AquaMouse on Disney Destiny, all complete with music, lighting, and special effects.
Character Meet-and-Greets
Both heroes and villains from across the Disney universe will take center stage on Destiny. Guests will encounter formidable foes — including Maleficent, Hades, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Oogie Boogie — through a variety of shows, meet-and-greets, and special appearances throughout the ship. They’ll also be able to encounter characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, Bruno, and Loki.
Disney Destiny will also introduce fun ways to interact with villains, rogues, and mischief makers during events and activities, such as a dance party in Oogie Boogie’s shipboard lair and a Disney trivia event that often gets interrupted by a cast of Disney villains.
Haunted Mansion Parlor
If you’ve been keeping up on Disney Cruise Line news, you probably know that Disney Destiny‘s sister ship, Disney Treasure, will have a Haunted Mansion-themed venue called the Haunted Mansion Parlor. Now, the line has announced that Destiny will also have the cocktail lounge.
Foolish mortals will be welcomed to sip spirited craft cocktails among the 999 happy haunts of Disney Parks lore at the Haunted Mansion Parlor. Reminiscent of a first-class drawing room from the classic cruise liners of the golden age, this experience will invoke inspiration from the original theme park attraction with a nautical twist exclusive to Disney Cruise Line.
The venue will follow the nostalgic art style of the 1969 Disney Parks classic, blending humor with Disney’s distinct brand of spooky storytelling. Characters from Haunted Mansion attractions around the world will come out to socialize in mysterious ways throughout the experience, along with a few new seafaring arrivals and an original storyline focused on a ship captain. A custom musical arrangement inspired by the ride’s original score will set the stage for an anthology of illusions that immerses guests into the next chapter of Haunted Mansion lore.
At the parlor, grim grinning guests will sample a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the story, and an exclusive array of haunted homewares and spooky souvenirs inspired by the bar will materialize in shopping venues on the ship.
