Two Disney Cruise Line ships recently shared a special moment at Port Everglades, with Disney Destiny and Disney Dream docking together in Fort Lauderdale. The double visit took place on December 26, 2025, marking the first time both ships were in port on the same day this season.
Port Everglades highlighted the occasion as the start of a series of dual Disney sailings from Fort Lauderdale.
The sight offered guests and onlookers a rare chance to see two Disney ships side by side at their homeport.
Disney Destiny was in port to begin a four-night cruise to the Bahamas. The itinerary included stops at Nassau and Disney’s newest private destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
At the same time, Disney Dream arrived to launch a three-night Bahamas sailing. That shorter cruise featured similar ports of call, giving guests a taste of Disney’s island-focused itineraries.
Two Ships, One Growing Homeport
Disney Destiny is currently spending her inaugural season sailing from Fort Lauderdale. The ship welcomed her first paying guests at Port Everglades in November, adding new energy to the port’s cruise operations.
Built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, the LNG-powered vessel is a sister ship to Disney Wish and Disney Treasure. With space for about 2,500 guests, Destiny was designed for shorter, high-energy cruises.
Before entering service, the ship was named during a ceremony that featured drone displays and animated projections. Since then, she has been offering a mix of four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and Caribbean.
Disney Dream, meanwhile, returned to Fort Lauderdale in late 2024 after a summer season in Europe. The 2011-built ship now operates year-round short cruises from the port.
Disney’s Expanding Cruise Plans
Both ships’ itineraries highlight visits to Disney’s private island destinations. Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point remain major draws for families and repeat cruisers.
The dual sailing also reflects Disney Cruise Line’s growing presence in Fort Lauderdale. With more ships homeporting there, the port is becoming a key hub for the brand.
Looking ahead, Disney is preparing to expand beyond the Americas. The cruise line recently took delivery of Disney Adventure, its largest ship to date.
Weighing 208,000 tons, the new vessel will carry up to 6,000 guests. Disney Adventure is set to begin year-round sailings from Singapore starting in mid-March.
Together, these developments show how Disney Cruise Line continues to grow its fleet and global reach.
