In case you missed it, it’s an exciting year for Disney Cruise Line!
This summer, the brand new island destination called Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will open to cruisers. Then in December, the new Disney Treasure cruise ship will take its maiden voyage. We’ve learned a lot about the new ship joining the fleet and now we have even more details about a highly-anticipated experience onboard!
Disney finally gave the people what they didn’t know they needed — Disney parks themed bars onboard a cruise ship! The Disney Treasure will hold a Haunted Mansion Parlor and Disney fans are already freaking out about it.
We’ve already seen a look at the concept art and specific art coming to the lounge, including this bust of Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump (who played a huge role in creating the Haunted Mansion attraction). But now we have even more details and photos to share with you!
In the new updates, Disney gave us a look at the ghost fish aquarium that will be in the bar. We’re not gonna lie, this is giving us the creeps! It looks like this has been abandoned for a while with a ton of algae inside. If you put your glasses on and look real close, you can even see the captain’s hat at the bottom of the aquarium! Uh oh…
Disney commented on the storyline saying, “Legends passed down from The Captain’s devoted crew recount how he was last seen heading to his parlor for a special meal prepared by his betrothed. All that remained after The Captain and his bride seemingly vanished was his hat, which was found floating in the aquarium tank. Perhaps his disappearance grants a new meaning to ‘fish food.'”
This concept came from none other than Rolly Crump when he thought up the “Museum of Weird”, and over 50 years later, the “Aquarium with Ghost Fish” is finally coming to life.
Blending nostalgia with a fresh layer of lore, the aquarium will fold into the curious backstory of the parlor’s former sea captain owner. Legends passed down from The Captain’s devoted crew recount how he was last seen heading to his parlor for a special meal prepared by his betrothed. All that remained after The Captain and his bride seemingly vanished was his hat, which was found floating in the aquarium tank. Perhaps his disappearance grants a new meaning to “fish food.”
There’s also a sneak peek at some portraits coming to the gallery in the lounge. You’ll have to keep your eye out for the Mariner Ghost…
…as well as the Bride! This is her in a mortal state and you may notice she has flowers in her hand in this portrait.
However, in a similar portrait, she looks like some sort of sea monster or mermaid? A fun detail we already noticed here — the flowers she was holding have turned into an ax! 😱 It takes inspiration from the iconic “cat lady” portrait in the Haunted Mansion ride and this one will also flicker to show her true colors.
Both the flowers and ax are featured on what looks like a tiki mug themed after “The Bride”.
Disney also shared a look at “The Mariner” tiki mug. Disney said this is a Disney Cruise Line-exclusive commemorative mug collection that will debut on the Disney Treasure!

The Disney Wonder was a once in a life experience. The rotating of restaurants with different themes and shows were excellent. I am a past Disney traveler with a want to indulge in the Treasure next year but can’t find any info. I am a castaway key member but want to show my wife and her adult children why you are the best cruise line. I am thinking a trip in April or May would be great. Our anniversaries and birthdays are in late August/September those would be also. Send me some info and pricing. We also could get military discounts and more than one room.
