First Look: Photos of Disney Treasure, Disney’s newest cruise ship

First impression

The lobby of Disney Treasure is reminiscent of palaces in Africa and Asia, with a not-so-secret nod to Disney’s “Aladdin.” The fountain-patterned centerpiece and elaborate chandelier pay homage to the six current ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

In addition to being people’s first impression of the ship after boarding, the Grand Hall is also home to various performances, including live music and storytelling by new characters, Coriander and Sage. (They’ll even perform afterschool stories for adults.)

From the Grand Hall, visitors can head in many directions in search of adventure aboard the Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure Restaurant

Coco Square

Plaza de Coco is a Mexican-inspired restaurant based on the movie “Coco” and is the ship’s new addition to the accompanying dining rotation. The space is warm and inviting with rich colors, and the hallway leading to the venue sets the mood for the meal to come, complete with family and food photos.

The dining experience here will include live mariachi music and dancing by characters from the movie “Coco,” with two separate performances as guests will dine here twice during the one-hour cruise. week. The first show has a family theme, while the second honors Dia de los Muertos.

Disney Treasure Bar

Skipper Association

Disney Treasure is introducing several new, exciting bars with fun Disney themes. Skipper Society is inspired by Disney’s Jungle Cruise and wise skiers.

Expect lots of bad puns and jungle-themed drinks. For a snack, try hazelnut waffles.

Periscope pub

Periscope Pub takes its theme from Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (and Disney’s 1954 film version of the book and theme park attraction).

The bar is a place to order craft beers as well as pub food for an additional fee, such as burgers or soft pretzels. Don’t forget to look up because you never know what creature will swim overhead.

Living room of haunted house

The Haunted Mansion lounge on Disney Treasure takes a seafaring approach to the scary yet beloved Haunted Mansion theme park attraction.

The bar show, complete with a séance and a story about a murder at sea, takes place in five-minute intervals over the course of an hour and a half. Families are welcome to enjoy the spooky atmosphere and fun sodas and mocktails until 9pm when the space is adults only.

Crazy Cat Lounge

Just off the ship’s Great Hall, Scat Cat Lounge was inspired by Disney’s animated film “The Aristocats.”

This is a classy place to enjoy some jazz piano and cocktails served in glasses shaped like cat faces. Signature drinks include tea-themed cocktails.

Other bars on board include Hei Hei Cafe and Jade Cricket Cafe.

Disney Treasure cabin

Disney Treasure will feature 1,256 cabins and suites ranging from windowless interior cabins to two-story suites in the ship’s mock funnel. The cabin design will incorporate scenes from Disney films such as “Aladdin”, “Pocahontas”, “Finding Nemo”, “Up”, “Luca” and “Encanto”.

The Concierge Suites will pay tribute to “The Lion King,” while the four Royal Suites pay homage to the tigers found in “The Jungle Book” and “Aladdin.”

Royal Suites are incredible two-story suites with living areas downstairs and sleeping areas upstairs, along with spacious balconies with infinity hot tubs.

Public space

Pool deck and AquaMouse

Disney Treasure’s pool deck is more than just a water-filled playground, perfect for cooling off on hot days. This is also the space that hosts Disney’s signature deck parties, including Pirate Night with fireworks.

The AquaMouse water ride returns to Disney Treasure with its third, new show in the animated shorts rotation. Called “The Curse of the Golden Egg,” the animated film will follow Mickey and Minnie as they search for lost treasure inside an ancient temple.

Diaper-clad kids will have a blast at the Toy Story-themed splash pad; I’m sure some adults will want to play here too.

Disney’s Oceaneer Club is one of the most innovative kids’ clubs in the cruise industry, and Disney Treasure’s free teen facilities are no exception. As with Disney Wish, children (and adults) can enter the club via a slide from the Grand Hall.

Inside, there are lots of adorable themed rooms offering a range of programming, from the Imagination Lab to Marvel Academy and Fairy Tale Hall. Kids can design amusement park rides and test them in a game simulator or design their own superhero suit.

Adults can enjoy the fun during opening hours; otherwise the Oceaneer Club is just for kids.

Parents can drop off infants and toddlers at Small World Daycare for supervised nap and play time for an hourly fee.

Sarabi is a two-story activity space on the ship with a “Lion King” theme.

Broadway style show

Disney Treasure will premiere “Disney The Tale of Moana” as a new Broadway-style musical. We got a preview of Act 1 and the sets, puppets, costumes and choreography were breathtaking. The cast is one of the most diverse Disney has ever had on a cruise ship, and Disney ensured that cultural consultants of Hawaiian and Samoan descent were involved in selecting the music and choreography .

The ship’s other shows will be “Seas the Adventure” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

Disney Treasure will depart on its maiden voyage on December 21 and will spend its maiden voyage on alternating week-long Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Families and travelers of all ages will love this ship for its warm, welcoming décor and cleverly themed spaces.
