Disney Cruise Line’s newest vessel, Disney Treasure, is making waves across the cruise industry. It incorporates popular storylines found in Disney theme parks directly into its on-board experiences. This groundbreaking effort is designed to bring families and fans deeper into the cruising action than ever before. Disney Treasure promises an incredible range of dining experiences and entertainment spaces. Coupled with innovative technology infusion from bow to stern, it promises to deliver an incredibly immersive voyage to every guest.
Disney Treasure isn’t another cruise ship. It’s a world-creating masterpiece. Of course, this ship celebrates Disney’s theme parks, seamlessly incorporating stories inspired by them into a wide range of onboard experiences. This idea enhances the entire visitor experience. This innovation creates a smooth transition between the enchantment of the parks and the excitement of life at sea.
Among the ship’s many standout features is a members-only exclusive venue called Spellbound by Magic Castle. Originally from Los Angeles, this members-only clubhouse features fine dining, world-class cocktails and spellbinding magic. Through this elegant experience, guests can dream and escape to an elegant world where exquisite culinary artistry, romanticism and the captivating spirit of Disney coexist.
In addition to Spellbound by Magic Castle, Disney Treasure boasts over 30 restaurants and bar venues, many developed in collaboration with renowned celebrities. One of these culinary gems will be Makoto Ocean, an edomae-style sushi restaurant led by renowned Japanese chef Makoto Okuwa. His creativity and knowledge infuse an authentic sushi experience for cruise guests, with specialty sushi dishes curated to awaken the palate.
The cruise line also showed off Treasure’s Haunted Mansion, which is a first for the line. This sky bar is the first of its kind in the Princess Cruises fleet! This unique venue offers guests an atmospheric experience complete with captivating light shows and handcrafted cocktails inspired by spooky themes. Guests will be able to enjoy the added unexpected element of surprise appearances from Madame Leota, making their visit all the more mysterious and spooky.
For anyone searching for some delicious, made-from-scratch Mexican fare, Plaza de Coco promises to be one of the best spots to eat on Disney Treasure. This colorful, intimate venue makes some of the best craft cocktails into a passionate and delicious experience. Plus, get ready for an all-Disney and Pixar-inspired “Coco” mariachi review! Isai Coca, one of the creators behind Plaza de Coco, expressed his excitement for the offerings, stating:
“When you think about the entertainment part of it, I haven’t been to a place where you can actually have live music and entertainment and have a menu like this where we are putting all these Mexican touches.” – Isai Coca
Disney Treasure guests receive an unmatched level of freedom over their dining timetables. Perhaps most importantly, the ship gives passengers more control over their dining experiences, empowering them to plan their days based on their wants and needs. This fresh take on the classics is a big step away from your typical cruise restaurant styles.
Sami Kohen, a senior executive at Disney Cruise Line, indicated that this shift in dining philosophy reflects evolving consumer desires. He stated:
“The cruise line industry has been around since the early 1960s and the traditional dining room is part of our dining choices, but it’s not the primary one that we want to implement.” – Sami Kohen
Kohen further emphasized that they aimed to “bring a new taste and flair to our guests,” showcasing how Disney Treasure prioritizes culinary diversity.
Beyond its incredible food experiences, Disney Treasure is bursting at the seams with entertainment options. Guests can look forward to exciting live shows and a host of different pool activities aimed to entertain guests of all ages. Technology enhances the experience for their guests. The Princess App helps with every step of their journey, including planning activities, with reservations taken care of in a few taps.
Cruising is great for our communities Demand for cruise travel is skyrocketing! According to recent cruise industry research from JP Morgan, travelers are increasingly opting for cruises instead of land-based vacations, and Disney Treasure is poised to help answer this rising demand. In fact, Norwegian Cruise Line just made maritime history by placing its biggest ship order in history! While they’re preparing to debut eight new vessels, starting in April 2024, this announcement does not change what very brand-new Disney Treasure has in store.
