New Disney ship to feature first Disney attraction at sea
Sophie GriffithsDisney Cruise Line’s newest ship will feature the first Disney attraction at sea, the line has announced.
The 4,000-passenger Disney Wish will launch on June 9 2022, with a season of three and four night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral.
AquaMouse will debut onboard the line’s newest ship and will “bring to life the adventures of ‘The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse’ animated shorts like never before,” the line said.
The water ride will send passengers through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended above the ship’s top decks, with guests seated in two-seater ride vehicles.
Elsewhere, the line promised “more pools, more deck space and more dining”.
Meanwhile, a new Toy Story-themed waterplay district will offer space for families with toddlers and young children.
The Toy Story Splash Zone will see Woody, Buzz and friends reimagined as larger than life rubber bath toys which move and spray water, while a double-looping waterslide entitled “Slide-a-saurus Rex” will send guests “plunging down the drain with the rest of the toys when the metaphorical bathtub overflows”.
For those aged 18 and older, a secluded adults-only district has been created at the back of the ship.
The line has also promised a range of kids clubs for every age group, including a Marvel Super Hero Academy where young "recruits" can train to become the next generation of super heroes with the help of a few well-known names such as Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Disney Wish will also see the introduction of three new family restaurants. Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure will feature a Frozen-themed theatrical dining experience, with live performances throughout the meal.
Worlds of Marvel will be the first ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, Disney said, where guests play an active role in an action-packed Avengers mission which unfolds around them.
Meanwhile 1923, named for the year the Walt Disney Company was founded, will “pay homage to the golden age of animation”, with a fusion of cultural flavours found across California, the line said, including Asian, European and South American cuisines.
