DISNEY Believe (pictured) has been announced as Disney Cruise Line’s next ship, the fourth in the company’s Wish-class.

Stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars will be onboard highlights, including mystical worlds from Encanto and Frozen, to Snow White, Moana, and The Little Mermaid.

Believe is expected to debut late next year.

The announcement took place overnight at the 2026 Disney Annual Shareholders Meeting, which also marked the first day in the role for chief executive officer Josh D’Amaro.

Believe will be the ninth ship in Disney’s fleet, which is currently set to total 13 by 2031.

She will follow on from her Wish-class sister ships including Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny.

The cruise line is planning to introduce a new class of ships that will debut in 2029, which will be smaller than the Wish-class, but larger than its earlier vessels.

Furthermore, Disney is planning to launch cruises in Japan through a partnership with The Oriental Land Company (CW 11 Feb 2025), which also operates Disney’s Tokyo property.

The reveal of Believe comes following the official debut of Disney’s eighth ship, Disney Adventure, which began sailing from Singapore earlier this month (CW 05 Mar). MS
