Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Destiny prepares for maiden voyage Thursday

Disney Cruise Line’s seventh ship is preparing to set sail on its maiden voyage on Thursday.

Disney Destiny’s christening was held Monday at Port Everglades Homeport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It included a longer than 10-minute display of drones.

“The Disney Cruise Line team, along with the Disney Imagineers, have invested years of their experience, creativity and dedication into this beautiful ship,” Joe Schott, president of Disney Signature Experiences, said in a statement. “They have created something truly amazing.”

The newest ship in the fleet features heroes and villains from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies.
