Full themes for Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Believe, have finally been revealed.
The highly anticipated fourth ship in the Wish class is set to make its maiden voyage on December 18, 2027 on 4- and 5-night cruises to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Port Everglades, Florida. Bookings will open on October 19, 2026.
Disney shared how the Believe will be different from its sisters in a one-of-a-kind event onboard the Disney Wish with a live production Disney Believe - The Concert!
Promise and Possibilities
Disney Cruise Line has done what Disney does best within its newest class of ships - ingraining each with details and the love of storytelling. The Disney Believe is set to wow with the notion of “promise and possibilities” and highlighting the stories of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, The Little Mermaid, Frozen, Moana and Encanto.
As previously released, guests will get their first glimpse of characters with Tinkerbell painted decoratively at the bow. While at the stern, Woody and Buzz Lightyear figures are busy playing. Upon boarding, a gold statue of Moana will greet passengers in the Grand Ballroom flanked by her sidekicks Pua and Heihei.
The Grand Hall will have a whole undersea motif with fish swimming across the chandelier and the Heart of Te Fiti hidden within.

Dinner and a Show
Rotational dining is one of the unique features of Disney Cruise Line. With other Wish-class ships, guests enjoy a night at 1923, World of Marvel and an immersive character dinner show specific to each ship. Depending on the length of the cruise, these venues may be rotated through multiple times with changing menus.
On the Disney Believe,the themed dinner show will be Oaken’s Table, based on a family reunion with the favorite characters of Frozen, like Oaken, Anna and Kristoff. Disney Cruise Line said the show will be set in a “sommerhus courtyard” located deep within the forest, where Oaken and his family will invite guests to dine together while enjoying the musical stylings of his cousins, who will play their own reimagined renditions of famous tunes from the popular “Frozen” soundtracks.

Broadway-Style Entertainment
Another must while onboard is the Broadway-quality shows that take place in the Walt Disney Theater. It's mind-blowing to think what Disney Cruise Line has accomplished with these full-scale, live action shows taking place on the high seas.
Fans will rejoice knowing the tradition continues with a brand-new show debuting on the Disney Believe - Encanto. Guests at the live production of the Disney Believe Reveal were even treated to a performance of four of the original cast members from the beloved film. The musical will follow the movie, in which Mirabel looks to save her family and her home, featuring hit songs created by Disney Legend Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Guests will also get to enjoy the retelling of Rapunzel as Tangled: The Musical joins the Disney Believe with a reimagined set design and special effects exclusive to the new ship. Rounding out the Broadway-style entertainment offerings onboard the Disney Believe will be the Disney Seas the Adventure, an original show for the Wish class featuring iconic songs from beloved Disney and Pixar characters.
