On March 20, 2024, the ship was officially announced as the Disney Destiny and will set sail in 2025. [12] In May 2024, during the Q2 reports, the ship will instead sail in 2026. [13] However, in July 2024, it was announced that the ship had been pushed up to November 20, 2025. [14] [15]

On July 31, 2024, Disney revealed that the ship would prominently feature characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes the Worlds of Marvel restaurant, with a dinner show starring the Guardians of the Galaxy, and a lounge inspired by the Sanctum Sanctorum, home of Doctor Strange.
