Last night, Disney Cruise Line named its newest ship, the 4,000-passenger one Disney Treasurein a glittering ceremony at Manhattan’s Pier 66, complete with a drone show and a live performance by Jordin Sparks, singing the ship’s anthem. Today, TPG got a sneak peek of the ship and sampled its long-awaited new spaces, including the Haunted Mansion Bar and Plaza de Coco restaurant.
Disney Treasure shares the same design as her sister ship, disney wishbut its interior spaces have a unique decoration and theme. The ship is dedicated to adventure and exploration, and some of its signature bars are inspired by iconic Disney theme park attractions.
Here, we give you a first look inside Disney’s newest cruise ship with photos from our boat tour. Stay tuned: TPG will report on an actual sailing in December, when we can experience the locations in full activation.
First impressions
Disney’s Great Treasure Hall evokes the palaces of Africa and Asia, with a not-so-secret nod to Disney’s “Aladdin.” The centerpiece rug features a fountain motif and the elaborate chandelier pays homage to the six current ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
In addition to being everyone’s first impression of the ship upon boarding, the Great Hall is the site of several performances, including live music and narrations from new characters, Coriander and Sage. (They will even present stories for adults after hours.)
From the Grand Hall, guests can go in many directions to find adventures aboard Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure Restaurants
Coco Square
Plaza de Coco is a Mexican-inspired restaurant based on the movie “Coco” and is the ship’s newest addition to the rotation of included restaurants. The space is warm and inviting with bright colors, and the hallway leading into the venue sets the tone for the meal to come, complete with family photos and an offering.

worlds of wonder
He Marvel Worlds Restaurant debuted in Disney Wish and returns in Treasure. The venue will feature the same show as Wish, “Quantum Encounter,” plus a second “Guardians of the Galaxy” show titled “Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix.”
We watched the new show, which is sure to bring out all the good vibes with an adorable Groot. Between scenes, test your knowledge with superhero trivia.
Jumbeaux Sweets
Jumbeaux’s Sweets is a new ice cream and candy shop inspired by Jumbeaux’s Cafe in the movie “Zootopia.” You can order all kinds of ice cream, sundaes in souvenir packaging and many other delicacies.

Disney Treasure Bars
Pattern Society
Disney Treasure introduces a handful of new, immersive bars with fun Disney themes. Skipper Society is inspired by Disney’s Jungle Cruise ride and its prankster skippers.
Expect plenty of bad puns and jungle-themed drinks. As a snack, try waffles drizzled with Nutella.
Periscope Pub
Periscope Pub takes its theme from Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (and Disney’s 1954 film version of the book and theme park attraction).
The bar is the ideal place to order craft beers, as well as pub food for an additional charge, such as a burger or soft pretzel. Don’t forget to look up, as you never know what creatures will be swimming above you.
The hall of the haunted mansion
The Haunted Mansion Parlor at Disney Treasure takes a nautical approach to the spooky but beloved Haunted Mansion theme park attraction.

The bar show, which includes a seance and the story of a murder at sea, unfolds in five-minute increments over the course of an hour and a half. Families can enjoy the spooky atmosphere and fun soft drinks and mocktails until 9 pm, when the space becomes adults-only.
Scat Cat Lounge
Just off the ship’s Great Hall, the Scat Cat Lounge is inspired by Disney’s animated film “The Aristocats.”

Tower Suite. ERICA SILVERSTEIN/THE POINTS GUY
The most elaborate suite on the ship will be the two-story Tomorrow Tower Suite. The nearly 2,000-square-foot multi-room suite features a futuristic Epcot-inspired design and can sleep up to eight people. Due to its location in the ship’s false funnel, it does not have a private balcony.
public spaces
Pool terrace and AquaMouse
Disney Treasure’s pool deck isn’t just a water play area, perfect for cooling off on hot days. It’s also home to Disney’s signature deck parties, including Pirate Night shows with fireworks.
The AquaMouse water attraction returns to Disney Treasure with a third new show in its rotation of animated shorts. Called “The Curse of the Golden Egg,” the animation will follow Mickey and Minnie as they search for a lost treasure inside an ancient temple.
Toddlers in diapers will have a blast in the Toy Story-themed splash pad; I’m sure some adults will be tempted to play here too.
Disney’s Oceaneer Club is one of the most creative kids’ clubs in the cruise industry, and Disney Treasure’s free youth facilities are no exception. As with Disney Wish, kids (and adults) can enter the club via a slide from the Great Room.

Inside, a maze of adorable themed rooms offer a variety of programming, from an Imagination Lab to Marvel Academy and Fairytale Hall. Kids can design theme park attractions and try them out in an amusement ride simulator, or design their own superhero costume.
Adults can enjoy the fun during open house hours; Otherwise, the Oceaneer Club is for kids only.
Parents can drop off babies and toddlers at It’s a Small World Nursery for supervised naps and play for an hourly fee.
Sarabi is a two-story onboard activity space with a “Lion King” theme.
Broadway-style shows
Disney Treasure will premiere “Disney The Tale of Moana” as its new Broadway-style musical. We take a look at Act 1 and the sets, puppets, costumes and choreography are impressive. The cast is one of the most diverse Disney has ever had on a cruise, and Disney made sure that cultural consultants of Hawaiian and Samoan descent were involved in the music and choreography choices.
The ship’s other shows will be “Seas the Adventure” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
Disney Treasure sets sail on its maiden voyage on December 21 and will spend its debut sailing alternating week-long itineraries through the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Families and cruisers of all ages will love this ship for its warm, inviting décor and cleverly themed spaces.
