A statue of T’Challa, the Black Panther: King of Wakanda, will preside over the Grand Hall of the Disney Destiny.
Disney Imagineers consulted with the costume team from the Black Panther movies to help create this space. On the pillars in the Grand Hall, there will be metalwork inspired by the banded armor and stacked jewelry found in Wakanda.

There will also be a light fixture inspired by Vibranium, which is the rare metal found in Wakanda. The light fixture will generate show-stopping effects that fill the room with life and color.
The Sanctum
The Sanctum will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by Doctor Strange! Like all Sanctums, this spot will contain mystical items designed to help the sorcerers protect the world.

But, it will also be home to entertainment, an array of cocktails, spirits, and coffees, and unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum. You’ll even see the circular mirror behind the bar that looks like the building’s iconic window.
Spider-Man on the Stern
For the first time EVER, a Marvel Super Hero will be the signature stern character on a Disney Cruise ship! Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots are shown on the stern attempting to decorate the filigree on the back of the ship with their spider webs.

Saga will be a central hub for daytime family activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment. This will be a two-story, state-of-the-art venue that hosts a variety of interactive shows and events in an elevated environment. The space is also inspired by the architecture of Wakanda!
