Disney Cruise Line just named its next ship: the Disney Believe.

The announcement came Tuesday morning via the Disney Parks Blog, revealing the fourth ship in the Wish class will carry a theme of promise and possibilities. It is expected to debut in late 2027.

Like its sister ships, the Disney Believe will have its own unique design motif. The enchantment-themed Disney Wish launched in 2022. The adventure-themed Disney Treasure followed in 2024. The heroes-and-villains-themed Disney Destiny arrived in 2025. The Disney Believe rounds out the four-ship Wish class with a focus on dreamers, characters who believe in themselves and pursue their own happily ever after.

Disney says the ship will bring stories from Encanto, Frozen, Snow White, Moana, and The Little Mermaid to life onboard in new ways. The Disney Parks Blog describes mystical worlds, wishing wells, and voyages into the depths of the sea. No specific venue or entertainment details have been announced yet, with Disney promising more information in the coming months.

Each ship in the Wish class features a distinct theme that shapes the onboard experience, from venue design and decor to entertainment. The Disney Believe is the first new addition to the class since the Disney Destiny debuted last year.

Current Disney Cruise Line ships include the Disney Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy, Wish, Treasure, Destiny, and Adventure. The Disney Believe joins that roster when it debuts in late 2027.
