Disney Destiny Named to TIME’s 2026 World’s Greatest Places List

TIME's nod reflects a heroes‑versus‑villains cruise built around immersive design, character‑driven dining, plus headline theatrical productions.

Overview

  • TIME included Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Destiny on its non‑ranked 2026 World’s Greatest Places list of 100 destinations selected by editors with input from correspondents and travel experts.
  • Launched on November 20, 2025, the Wish‑class ship is the seventh in Disney’s fleet and sails from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale on four‑ and five‑night itineraries to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean.

  • Highlighted experiences include the Worlds of Marvel restaurant hosted by Rocket and Groot, The Sanctum bar with Doctor Strange‑themed cocktails, and a Hercules stage show using a massive hydra puppet.
