Disney fans attending the D23 Expo were the first to learn that the sixth Disney Cruise Line ship will be named Disney Treasure. That was just one of a number of announcements regarding DCL delivered by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro.

D’Amaro also unveiled first details on the fleet's sixth ship, concept art for its new island destination and an all-new vacation experience for Australia and New Zealand residents.

The Disney Treasure will be designed with a brand-new motif. The theme of adventure, inspired by Walt Disney's love of exploration, will pave the way for experiences immersing guests in some of the company's most legendary stories.

"At the heart of every adventure, there's a treasure, and we can't wait for you to create memories aboard this spectacular ship," D'Amaro said.

Inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace, the Grand Hall will draw on real-world influences from Asia and Africa and pay homage to the far-off land of Agrabah from Walt Disney Animation Studios' classic tale, "Aladdin."

The signature atrium character statue — a Disney Cruise Line tradition — will be a representation of Aladdin, Jasmine and Magic Carpet soaring together toward a whole new world of adventure.

The Disney Treasure is scheduled for delivery in 2024. Following the Disney Wish, which set sail in July, it's the second of three new ships planned through 2025. The Wish class ships are powered by liquefied natural gas and feature 1,254 guest staterooms.

Disney's Second Bahamas Destination – Lighthouse Point

D'Amaro told Disney fans that work has begun on Disney's second island destination in the Bahamas, located on the island of Eleuthera at a place called Lighthouse Point, He unveiled new details and concept art.

Disney says it is working closely with Bahamian artists and advisors to create a destination that represents the natural beauty and rich culture of the Bahamas, brought to life through Disney storytelling and local cast and crew.

New renderings show a vibrant beach retreat infused with the colour and energy of Bahamian artistry. In addition to the pristine beaches, families will enjoy a recreation center, dining, shopping, a water playground, a cultural pavilion and more.

Disney has committed to develop less than 20% of the property; supply 90% of the site's power from solar energy; employ sustainable building practices; and donate more than 190 acres of privately owned land to the government. Environmental management programs have already been established and will continue throughout construction and into operation.

Vacations Aboard the Disney Wonder for Guests Down Under

For the first time, Disney Cruise Line is bringing the magic of a Disney vacation to families and fans in Australia and New Zealand during brand-new "Disney Magic at Sea" cruises beginning late October 2023. The ship is the destination on these limited-time voyages, which have been specially created to immerse local guests in their favorite Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars stories through entertainment and enhanced experiences throughout each cruise.

"We are so glad to bring something new to those who may have never experienced this type of Disney magic before," D'Amaro said.
