The sixth cruise ship for Disney Cruise Line officially has a name — Disney Treasure!
Today during a presentation at D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro offered a first glimpse inside the vessel.
Imagineers dreamed up a new design concept for the ship, celebrating Walt Disney’s lifelong love of exploration. The Grand Hall, which is the vessel’s three-story tall atrium, is inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace, drawing on real-world influences from Asia and Africa, and paying homage to the far-off land of Agrabah. At the center, the signature statue will feature Aladdin, Jasmine, and their Magic Carpet.
“At the heart of every adventure there is a treasure,” said D’Amaro. ”This is gonna be an epic journey into Disney stories.”
Disney Treasure is scheduled to debut in 2024.
