Yesterday, Disney Cruise Line shared some new photos including a first look at the Doctor Strange-inspired Sanctum lounge. Now, the new ship has entered open water for the first time, temporarily leaving the Meyer Werft shipyard. Super Minnie Mouse showcased the ship as it was pulled out.

Meyer Werft is the German shipbuilding company currently housing the Destiny. Disney shared an aerial view of the ship, which is third Wish class ship following the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure. The fourth Wish class ship is now under construction.

The Disney Destiny was met with fireworks and smoke plumes as it exited the construction building for the first time. We also got another look at the full Spider-Man stern character for the Marvel-themed ship.

The ship’s Marvel theming includes a Grand Hall inspired by Black Panther and Wakanda as well as a Spider-Man stern figure. Debuting on the Disney Destiny will be a new Hercules stage show. It will also include a Cruella de Vil loungeCafe Megara, and Lion King dinner show.

The Disney Destiny will officially set sail this November.
