The highly anticipated debut of the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny, is set for November 2025, and we have the inside scoop on the most exciting new feature: the “meet and play” character experiences. Building on the success of interactive adventures on the Disney Treasure, the Destiny will take guest interaction to a new level with villains, tricksters, and pirates—and we’ve just learned the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow will be joining the fun!
Forget traditional meet-and-greets. The “meet and play” concept is an immersive experience where guests don’t just meet characters; they become part of the story through interactive games, improvised adventures, and spontaneous performances.
“This is exactly the kind of unique, magical offering that makes Disney cruises so special,” says Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group. “Our clients are always thrilled to get exclusive access and experiences. The ‘meet and play’ moments on the Disney Destiny create unforgettable, personalized memories that you simply can’t get anywhere else. It’s this attention to detail and commitment to storytelling that we love to help our clients navigate.”

The “Meet & Play” Character Lineup Aboard the Disney Destiny
Here’s the full roster of miscreants and masterminds you can expect to meet and play with:
-
Loki: The God of Mischief will sweep into the spectacular Grand Hall to proclaim his “glorious purpose,” putting his signature twist on familiar tales. Be prepared for impromptu games or quizzes about cruise life. As revealed at Destination D23, he may not be able to pass a balcony without delivering a speech worthy of himself!
-
Cruella de Vil: This fashion-obsessed villain will host a fashion-forward runway show in the intimate De Vil’s Piano Lounge, complete with her sharp-witted commentary and a mischievous sing-along. Keep an eye out—her appearances may be unannounced surprises!
-
Maleficent: The Mistress of All Evil will be “commanding attention with magical displays” in the Saga entertainment lounge. Expect a performance similar in style to the interactive Indiana Jones show on the Disney Treasure.
-
Dr. Facilier: The “cunningly charming illusionist” from the shadows of New Orleans may be lurking around the upper levels of the Grand Hall or in his own makeshift parlor, inviting guests in for a card trick or a bit of sleight of hand.
-
Jack Sparrow: That’s right, Captain Jack himself! While details are still officially under wraps, reports indicate he will have multiple storylines that unfold over the course of your sailing. We expect treasure hunts and swashbuckling adventures aplenty!
The fun doesn’t stop there! Disney has also teased appearances by Hades, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Bruno, plus a “frighteningly fun dance party” hosted by Oogie Boogie.
