What Happened at the Disney Destiny Christening Ceremony

The Disney Destiny Christening Ceremony began with an unforgettable concert featuring songs from Hercules, The Lion King, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Hundreds of drones illuminated the night sky, forming beloved Disney heroes and villains like Maleficent, Elsa, and Simba. The ship’s hull turned into a projection screen displaying animated scenes that captured the heart of Disney storytelling.

Every light, song, and moment told a story of courage and confidence—two ideas that define the Heroes & Villains theme woven throughout the ship. It was Disney magic on an ocean stage.
