World's First 'Coco' Theatrical Dining Experience Coming To Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line currently has five ships in its fleet — The Disney Dream, the Disney Magic, the Disney Fantasy, the Disney Wonder, and the Disney Wish — but soon, a sixth will join as Disney prepares to debut the Disney Treasure.

Construction for The Disney Treasure began in January 2023, and Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship is set to set sail in 2024 officially.

This morning, the company is releasing details surrounding its newest ship in the fleet, including the world's first "Coco" theatrical dining experience.

The Walt Disney Company announced this morning that Disney and Pixar's hit film, "Coco", will be the inspiration behind the new dining experience.

"JUST ANNOUNCED 🛳️ Plaza de Coco will be the world’s first theatrical dining experience themed to the Disney and Pixar film, “Coco,” onboard @DisneyCruiseLine's newest ship, the #DisenyTreasure!," the company Tweeted on Tuesday morning.

"The story of Miguel and his familia will continue where it left off on screen as they gather in Mariachi Plaza to take guests on two nights of colorful, music-filled journeys that celebrate family memories with festive dinner menus of modern twists on traditional Mexican fare," Disney added.

In addition to "Coco", the Disney Treasure will also host a Marvel-themed dining experience, with visits from iconic superheroes such as Spider-Man.

"JUST ANNOUNCED 🛳️ Worlds of Marvel, @DisneyCruiseLine's immersive Marvel-themed dining experience, joins the #DisneyTreasure! The venue will offer a worldly menu and two separate nights with distinct shows and dining inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe," the company Tweeted.

Every Disney Cruise Line ship has an iconic character on its stern. Sorcerer Mickey is the stern character in Disney Dreams, while Goofy is in Disney Magic. Donald Duck can be found on Disney Wonder, with Dumbo being the character on Disney Fantasy’s stern.

Rapunzel was the latest character to join the ship’s fleet as she appears on the Disney Wish.

As Disney continues constructing the Disney Treasures, the company has revealed who will be on the ship’s stern. Two iconic characters, Peter Pan and Captain Hook, will be the face of the newest Disney Cruise Line ship, which makes sense due to its name — the Disney Treasure.

“Today, the Disney Cruise Line team is thrilled to be debuting an artist rendering of the ship’s stern for the first time!’ Disney Parks Blog reported. “For 25 years, each ship in the fleet has been adorned with characters from beloved Disney stories. The Disney Treasure will follow this tradition with signature character sculptures that honor the ship’s motif of adventure, Peter Pan and Captain Hook.”

Their report continues, “Harnessing the power of Tinker Bell’s pixie dust, Peter Pan will levitate next to the Disney Treasure to add the finishing touch to the ship’s stern filigree. Meanwhile, Peter Pan’s longtime rival, Captain Hook, can be seen leaning out a porthole with a vengeful expression. Paintbrush and paint bucket in hand, Peter Pan sports a mischievous grin as he glances back at Captain Hook, who is dripping in yellow paint.”

The Disney Treasure will take inspiration from “classic ocean liners of the early 20th century with a modern flair” and set sail in 2024. It is currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
