Disney Treasure

Disney Treasure is the second Wish-class ship and the sixth Disney has owned. Meyer Werft delivered her in October 2024 and she sailed from Port Canaveral for the first time that December. She is a near-twin of Disney Wish in steel (same 144,000-ton frame, same 1,121 feet, same liquefied natural gas plant driving two ABB Azipods), and almost entirely unlike her in what she has been dressed as.

The theming, done concretely

The Wish is a fairy-tale castle. The Treasure is a palace, and the reference is Agrabah. The three-story Grand Hall at her center is gilt and teal and green with Moroccan tilework, a broad staircase and a statue of Aladdin and Jasmine on the magic carpet at the bottom of it. Voyager Minnie is on the bow. Peter Pan and Captain Hook are on the stern. The stated brief was adventure, and the design pulls from Asian and African architecture rather than from European castles.

That framing runs into the public rooms, which is where it earns its keep. Sarabi is a two-story lounge named for the lioness in The Lion King, with a two-story LED wall, open to families by day and adults-only at night. Skipper Society is the Jungle Cruise, complete with the puns. Periscope Pub is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and turns into the ship’s de facto sports bar after dark. And the Haunted Mansion Parlor, off the Grand Hall, is the first time Disney has built that ride into a bar: the wallpaper, early-twentieth-century furniture, a nautical reading of the house, and a cocktail list to match. It is the room people book the ship for.

Rotational dining, and what it means here

Disney does not assign you a restaurant for the week. Three main rooms, and your table and your servers move together to a different one each night. On the Treasure the rotation is 1923, Worlds of Marvel and Plaza de Coco.

1923 is named for the year the Walt Disney Company was founded and is split into Walt and Roy dining rooms, hung with more than eight hundred pieces of original artwork, storyboards and props, here drawn from the adventure films, Tarzan and The Lion King and Aladdin. Worlds of Marvel carries over from the Wish as a dinner with a scripted Marvel sequence running through it, but with second- night menus written specifically because the Treasure sails full weeks and the Wish does not. Plaza de Coco is the one that has no precedent: a room laid out as theater-in-the-round with the tables surrounding a stage, a mariachi band, and Miguel from Coco performing between courses. Whether dinner and a show at the same table is a good idea is a matter of taste. It is not a screen and it is not a costumed character walking past; it is an actual staged performance.

The adults-only rooms, both surcharged, are Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté. The Walt Disney Theatre seats 1,274, and there are two small cinemas, the Wonderland and the Never Land, 84 and 86 seats.

Topside, the AquaMouse is the class water coaster, a raft ride with animation playing along the tube. The Treasure’s short is Curse of the Golden Egg, which is hers alone; the Wish runs two different ones. It is a gentler ride than the Dream class AquaDuck and a more elaborate one.

Where she actually sails

Port Canaveral, seven nights, every week. Every sailing on offer is a seven-night eastern or western Caribbean round trip from Florida, with no short runs and no repositioning. Her service speed is 19.5 knots, slower than the 22 knots of the older Dream class, which suits a fixed weekly Caribbean pattern and would suit very little else.

That consistency is unusual and it is worth valuing. You are not choosing between a three-night version and a seven-night version of this ship; there is one product and it has had two years to settle.

Who she suits

Families who want a full week rather than a long weekend, and who will actually use the theming; the difference between the Treasure and a generically good big ship is entirely in the rooms, and if the Haunted Mansion Parlor and Plaza de Coco mean nothing to you, you are paying a large premium for decor. Seven nights is also the length at which rotational dining works properly: you see each room twice, with different menus.

Adults sailing without children do better here than on most Disney ships. Four of the best spaces aboard go adults-only in the evening, Enchanté and Palo are genuinely good, and there is a functioning bar scene. There is still no casino and there are still a couple of thousand children aboard.

She does not suit anyone shopping on price. A Disney seven-night Caribbean week costs roughly what a comparable week costs on a luxury line and around double what the mainstream lines charge for the same ports, and drinks, specialty dining, the spa and Wi-Fi are all extra on top of that. She does not suit anyone who wants variety in itinerary length, because there is none. And she does not suit travelers who want the Caribbean itself; these are standard eastern and western routes that a dozen ships run out of the same port, and the reason to be on this one is the ship.
