Is anyone else currently in their cruise era? Who among us is itching to set sail and explore Disney’s private island? With Disney Cruise Line, you can watch fireworks at sea — need we say more?

Did you know that Disney’s got a NEW cruise ship coming soon? The Disney Treasure is the latest ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet, and we can’t wait to learn more about it! Ready for a little sneak peek of what you can expect onboard the Disney Treasure? Come with us!

The Disney Treasure cruise ship will be the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet — it’s part of the new Wish Class, actually. This new ship will celebrate “Walt Disney’s lifelong love of adventure,” according to Disney.

You may remember the new Disney Wish cruise ship that just debuted (and is already pretty popular!). Well, the Disney Treasure is Disney Wish’s sister ship!

This ship has been making quite a bit of progress lately, which makes sense, given that the ship is set for delivery in 2024. That’s less than a year away! Recently, Disney shared a look at the latest construction update, and the ship is really coming along.

Not only that, but we know a bit about what will make this ship special. As Disney Cruise Line fans may know, the stern of each of Disney’s cruise ships is embellished with different Disney characters. Disney shared an artist rendering of the sculptures that will be featured on the Treasure ship. We’re off to Neverland (er, Nassau) with Peter Pan and Captain Hook — how fun!

Oh, and Disney even gave us another little preview of what’s to come — check out Minnie Mouse in her all-new adventure attire! Did you know that Minnie will be at the helm of the new Disney Treasure ship? What a fun surprise!

You can get a more in-depth look at Mickey and Minnie’s new costumes here. We’re loving the new look, Minnie!

Disney explained that the Treasure is inspired by the “mystery and grandeur of a gilded palace” and will take inspiration from Asia, Africa, and Aladdin’s Agrabah. It will also feature a statue of Aladdin and Jasmine, which you can see in the concept art below.

Earlier this year, the crew working on the ship in Papenburg, Germany, had a keel-laying ceremony. For those that don’t know, this is a special celebration that follows a maritime tradition that brings good fortune to the ship. As you can see, the crew placed a newly-minted coin under the keel of the ship for good luck.
