When the Disney Destiny takes to sea later this year and guests board her beautiful decks, there will be heroes and villains-themed experiences around every corner. Café Megara is one of the destinations that cruisers will find aboard this new Disney Cruise Line ship.
Café Megara is one of two new walk-up cafes that will be found just off the Grand Hall aboard the Disney Destiny. Disney has shared a behind-the-scenes look at how Walt Disney Imagineering is drawing inspiration for this new venue from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Hercules.
Throughout Café Megara, Imagineers have to handpick many different details. This ranges from the barstool and lounge chair fabrics to accent wall tiles. Each of these details is painstakingly chosen to help create a vibrant space that has nods to the ancient world of Greek mythology and legendary heroes. The color palette for Café Megara is inspired by the film’s iconic characters, Megara and Pegasus, and incorporates shades of purple and blue.
Disney shared photos of Walt Disney Imagineers Beth Burkhardt and Rachel Willcoxon reviewing textile samples. These will be used to help transport future café guests to Mount Olympus. This will include a custom cloud-like carpet pattern and wallpaper. This includes hidden designs of Pegasus leaping through the clouds.
Imagineers are hard at work finalizing selections as the shipyard team transforms this space and others into a beautiful destination that guests will love when they board later this year. The maiden voyage for the Disney Destiny sets sail on November 20, 2025. This begins an inaugural season of 4- and 5-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean.
