 New Hercules Stage Show on Disney Destiny Cruise Ship
“Disney Hercules” is a brand-new, Broadway-style retelling of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film developed exclusively for the Disney Destiny. Embodying the ship’s theme of “heroes and villains,” the show features jaw-dropping puppetry to represent the mythological behemoths that Hercules must defeat to fulfill his hero’s journey, such as the multi-headed Hydra monster.

This is Disney Cruise Line’s second Hercules show. Hercules: The Muse-ical was performed on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder ships, but retired in 2008. The former show was a more comedic “Vaudevillian” take on the animated classic while the new show follows the film’s story more closely.

November 10 marked the christening of the Disney Destiny with a drone projection show. Susan Egan, the voice of Megara from Hercules, is the godmother of the Heroes and Villains-themed ship.

Themed spaces aboard the Destiny include Doctor Strange-inspired The Sanctum lounge, Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired Cask & Cannon bar, De Vil’s piano bar, the Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King restaurant, and a Wakandan Grand Hall with a Black Panther statue. Spider-Man is the stern character.

The ship’s maiden voyage begins on November 20, followed by an inaugural season of four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean from Port Everglades.
