The Disney Treasure will be the sixth ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet, and it is scheduled to start sailing in 2024.
Aladdin, Jasmine and their Magic Carpet will be featured as the gold statues adorning the Grand Hall. Other elements from Agrabah – coupled with authentic Asian and African influence – will also add to the mysticism and splendor found throughout the ship. And an overall sense of exploration is said to guide the theming.
Also announced at D23 is that the Disney Wonder will start sailings in the South Pacific beginning in late October 2023. Itineraries are expected to include ports in Australia and New Zealand, while the readjusting cruises will include Fiji and Samoa.
