Disney Cruise Line Installs First Castle Showpiece on the Disney Adventure
The first-of-its-kind castle showpiece has now been installed, taking its place at the creative heart of the Disney Adventure in the Disney Imagination Garden. This stunning, storybook castle stands three decks tall and is unique to the Disney Cruise Line fleet, designed to bring guest-favorite fairytales vividly to life.
The Walt Disney Imagineering team drew inspiration from the iconic castles featured in beloved Disney films and Disney Parks around the world. The paper cut-out style, reminiscent of a pop-up storybook, invites guests to step into their own story.
The castle is inspired by the spirit of adventure and the sea, with nods to timeless Disney storytelling. Artistic details, from the wave pattern surrounding the frame to the rich blues that color the facade, create a celebration of water for the first Disney castle at sea.
At the center of the castle is the Disney family crest (which every Disney Parks castle around the world also features!) and a beautiful three-panel-stained glass window. Each panel represents a Disney heroine and princess. On these panels, you will find elements of nature including the water, sky and the heart of Te Fiti from Moana; the sun, earth and the Sundrop flower from Tangled; and the glistening ice and wind from Frozen.
There are a number of “Easter eggs,” too, with tributes to Disney traditions and even a hidden Mickey. At the base of the storybook castle is a waterfall reminiscent of the Walt Disney Pictures castle shown before every Disney film.
