Disney Cruise Line has pulled back the curtain on Disney Believe, sharing the first substantial design details for the ship at the Horizons: D23 Disney Experiences Showcase. The fourth vessel in the Wish-class family — joining Disney Wish, Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny — is on track to debut in late 2027, and the new concept art gives the clearest picture yet of what guests can expect when they step aboard.
The Grand Hall is the most striking reveal. Inspired by Disney's Moana films, the main atrium will be anchored by a bronze statue of Moana, paddle in hand, with her companions Pua and Heihei beside her. Decorative elements throughout the space will draw from Polynesian design traditions, reflecting the themes of exploration and the South Pacific that run through both films.
The ship's exterior tells its own story. At the stern, Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Pixar's Toy Story will appear as large-scale sculptures, shown writing the ship's name with oversized yellow crayons — giving Disney Believe a Toy Story-style block lettering treatment rather than the traditional flowing Disney Cruise Line script. Up at the bow, Tinker Bell rendered in the style of Disney's 1953 animated Peter Pan will anchor the decorative filigree, with silhouettes of Peter Pan, Wendy and Captain Hook woven into the surrounding artwork.
Disney has already confirmed that onboard experiences will draw from Encanto, Frozen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Moana and The Little Mermaid, with more venue and entertainment details still to be announced. The line has also launched an official Ship's Log for Disney Believe where construction updates from Meyer Werft, Imagineering behind-the-scenes content and additional reveals are expected to be posted as the debut approaches.
