Disney Cruise Line has officially revealed the name and theme of its next ship, the Disney Believe, announced during the 2026 Walt Disney Company Annual Shareholders Meeting by CEO Josh D’Amaro.

Set to debut in late 2027, the Disney Believe will be the fourth ship in the Wish class, joining the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny.


A Theme Centered on Dreams and Possibility

Each Wish-class ship is built around a central theme that influences everything onboard, from the design and décor to the entertainment and guest experiences.

For the Disney Believe, that theme is “promise and possibility.

The ship will focus on stories of characters who believe in themselves and pursue their dreams, bringing that idea to life throughout the onboard experience.




Disney Stories Featured Onboard

Disney has confirmed that several beloved stories will help shape the look and feel of the Disney Believe, including:

  • Encanto
  • Frozen
  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  • Moana
  • The Little Mermaid

These films are expected to inspire the ship’s environments, storytelling, and entertainment offerings, though specific details have not yet been announced.


Part of the Expanding Wish Class

The Disney Believe continues the evolution of Disney Cruise Line’s Wish-class ships, which are known for combining immersive storytelling with modern ship design. Each vessel in the class offers its own distinct identity while maintaining the signature Disney Cruise Line experience.


More details, including itineraries, onboard venues, and entertainment offerings, are expected to be announced as we get closer to the ship’s 2027 debut. Stay tuned for updates as Disney Cruise Line continues to share what’s in store for the Disney Believe.
