First Look at the New Disney Hercules Stage Show Aboard the Disney Destiny

If you’re dreaming about a magical family vacation, Disney Cruise Line just gave us another reason to get excited. The brand-new Disney Destiny, launching later this year, will feature an exclusive Hercules stage show – and it’s already shaping up to be a must-see onboard experience for Disney fans of all ages.

This all-new show, simply called Disney Hercules, will bring the beloved story to life in a bold, updated way that still honours the heart of the original film. It’s being developed especially for the Disney Destiny as part of the ship’s “heroes and villains” theme. If you’re planning a Disney cruise with your family, this show alone could be worth the booking.

A Fresh Take on a Disney Classic

Set to an unforgettable soundtrack, the Hercules stage show will include fan-favourite songs like Go the Distance, Zero to Hero, and I Won’t Say I’m in Love — all reimagined with gospel and pop influences to create a fresh and powerful sound.

And for true Disney music fans, there’s a surprise: Shooting Star, a never-before-heard ballad originally written for the movie, will make its theatrical debut during the performance.

Big Voices, Big Visuals, and Even Bigger Puppets

The Muses are back as the narrators of the story, and their vocals and personalities are expected to shine even brighter on stage. The visual design sounds incredible too – think high-fashion gods of Mount Olympus contrasted with the grounded look of Earth’s mortals and mythical creatures.

One of the most exciting parts? The show will feature massive puppets created by award-winning designer Michael Curry. If you saw his work in Disney The Tale of Moana aboard the Disney Treasure, you know these creatures are going to be show-stoppers. The Hydra alone is going to be something to see.

Exclusive Entertainment on Disney Destiny

Disney Hercules is just one of three live shows planned for Disney Destiny. You’ll also get returning favourites like Frozen, A Musical Spectacular and Disney Seas the Adventure. Whether you’re travelling with kids, teens, or just love Disney entertainment yourself, there’s something magical for everyone.

As Disney continues to raise the bar for cruise ship shows, this new production is already making waves. It blends music, storytelling, fashion, and innovative design to create a live entertainment experience you can only find at sea.

If your family is looking for a Disney cruise packed with unique experiences, exciting adventures, and top-tier entertainment, the Disney Destiny deserves a top spot on your list.
