Cruella de Vil Lounge and Villain Experiences Coming to the Disney Destiny

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Hey Disney Vacationers! If you’re like me and have a borderline obsession with all things Disney Villains and Disney Cruise Line, then this is one announcement you’re going to love. Disney just dropped more details about the upcoming Disney Destiny, and let’s just say—this ship is bringing some seriously wicked fun.

Let’s talk about the Cruella de Vil lounge, the new villain-themed entertainment, and how you can experience it all aboard the Destiny starting November 20, 2025.

What Is the Cruella de Vil Lounge?

First up, the Cruella de Vil lounge is a brand-new piano lounge set to debut on Deck 4 of the Disney Destiny, just steps from the Grand Hall. And yes—it’s just as bold, fabulous, and dramatic as Cruella herself.

Think of it as the villainous cousin of the Aristocats-inspired lounge you might have seen aboard the Disney Treasure. Here, the vibe is all about high fashion, striking design, and custom cocktails. And yes, I’m betting big we’ll see a signature drink served in a collectible dog-themed glass. Disney hasn’t confirmed that detail yet, but if past lounges are any clue, that’s a safe bet.

The lounge is more than a place to sip something stylish—it’s a full experience. Expect themed décor, sleek piano performances, and, if we’re lucky, a surprise appearance or two from the diva herself.

Live Entertainment with a Wicked Twist

Now let’s get into what really sets the Disney Destiny apart: the villain entertainment. Disney isn’t just giving the ship a villain overlay—they’re giving these characters a spotlight.

1. Cruella’s Wretched Runway

Fashion fans, this one’s for you. You’ll get the chance to strut your stuff in front of Cruella de Vil herself. It’s called “Cruella’s Wretched Runway,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a guest fashion show where Cruella provides live commentary. She’ll dish out compliments if you wow her, or brutally honest advice if you don’t.

It’s fun, interactive, and classic Cruella—sarcastic, dramatic, and totally fabulous.

2. Musical Mischief with Cruella

Ever hear that old “Cruella de Vil” song and think it didn’t quite do her justice? You’re not alone—and neither is she. When Cruella hears that tune echoing through the ship, she might grab a few guests and create a new version. More fashionable. More fabulous. More flattering. You in?

More Villains Aboard the Destiny

The Disney Destiny doesn’t stop with Cruella. Disney is building this ship around a theme of heroes and villains, and the villain side is bringing some heavy hitters.

3. Dr. Facilier in the Grand Hall

You’ll find Dr. Facilier, the shadowy trickster from The Princess and the Frog, hanging out in the Grand Hall. He’s not just there for meet-and-greets either. He’s bringing sleight of hand, parlor tricks, and a game of chance that sounds like it’s all fun—unless your soul’s on the line. (Just kidding. I hope.)

4. Maleficent at the Saga Entertainment Lounge

Looking for something a little more magical? Head to the Saga entertainment lounge, where Maleficent will be casting spells, flaunting her power, and probably staring down guests brave enough to meet her up close.

You can watch from a safe distance or step right into her space for a truly unforgettable moment.

The Cruella de Vil lounge on the Disney Destiny isn’t just a bar—it’s a full-on villain experience. Pair that with interactive villain encounters and a ship designed around bold personalities, and you’ve got a cruise that feels more like a storybook than a vacation.

If you’ve sailed with Disney before, this ship’s bringing something different. If you haven’t, this might be the one that gets you hooked.

So mark your calendars, fashion your fiercest outfit, and get ready to walk into the Disney Destiny with style. Cruella would expect nothing less.
