Disney Treasure First Look!
By Disney Destinations
It’s time to come aboard Disney Cruise Line’s new ship, the Disney Treasure! Before it sets sail on its inaugural voyage out across the sea, chart a course for the very first photos of the majestic new vessel. First, we must see where all Disney Cruise guests begin their vacation: the Grand Hall, or as we like to think of it – our palace on the seas. The Grand Hall embodies the ship’s theme of adventure and draws on real-world influences from Asia and Africa, as well as the enchanting land of Agrabah from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film, “Aladdin.”
Disney Details Found in the Grand Hall on the Disney Treasure
True to Disney Cruise Line tradition, the Disney Treasure features a unique character statue that brings the ship’s theme to life.
At the heart of the Grand Hall is a life-size bronze statue of Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Magic Carpet, right at the base of the grand staircase. Surrounding this iconic statue, are even more details found throughout the Grand Hall that are inspired by “Aladdin” and represent the film’s spirit of adventure. Nearby the statue, guests will spot the magic lamp. The Grand Hall’s intricate carpet evokes the fountain in Jasmine’s courtyard and also features animals guests will see in the film including Aladdin’s mischievous monkey sidekick Abu, Jasmine’s birds, the golden scarab beetle, and more.
Entertainment Experiences in the Grand Hall on the Disney Treasure
The Grand Hall also becomes a dynamic theater that offers incredible entertainment experiences, character encounters and interactions with special storytellers – the Treasure “Sea”kers – who perform short retellings of classic Disney stories. Just like onboard the Disney Treasure, the Grand Hall is just the beginning of our adventure through the ship today!

What to Expect When Visiting the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure
The Haunted Mansion Parlor serves up spirited craft cocktails in a frightful lounge that resembles a first-class drawing room you would see on a classic cruise liner. And this one-of-a-kind lounge draws inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion, with a nautical twist, where guests are invited to the ghostly realm of a jovial sea captain and his strange, but captivating fiancé.
Details to Discover in the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure
The Haunted Mansion Parlor is full of eerie experiences and design elements, including portraits that shift to reveal secrets of the captain and his bride-to-be, a mysterious aquarium with ghostly fish, and more frightfully fun details to discover. If you look near the fireplace, you’ll spot a statue of celebrated Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump that includes several tributes to his idea for a “Museum of the Weird,” including a melting face that resembles the “Candle Man,” his very first idea for the museum.
And, a ghost may even follow you home on your voyage… The Haunted Mansion Parlor mirror will offer a frightening surprise when the famous hitchhiking ghosts mysteriously appear in the frame.
Specialty Merchandise for Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure
For those of you with a home aesthetic which, ahem, screams “haunted ship,” you’re in luck!
