Disney Cruise Line’s new offering invites couples to celebrate their love in a delightfully eerie and enchanting setting. The Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard the upcoming Disney Destiny is now available as a wedding venue, blending classic Disney magic with spooky sophistication. With a capacity of up to 25 guests and full-service planning included, this unique destination wedding option signals a fresh direction for themed celebrations at sea.
The venue is inspired by the iconic Haunted Mansion attractions found across Disney parks worldwide. Styled as a Victorian-era drawing room aboard a grand cruise liner, the Parlor features intricate details like shifting portraits of a ghostly sea captain and his bride, and even a mirror in which the famous hitchhiking ghosts might make an appearance. It’s precisely the kind of quirky yet elegant ambiance couples can look forward to when they choose this setting for their ceremony.
A Unique Setting for “I Do’s” with Disney Flair
Designed exclusively for Disney Destiny sailings beginning May 14 2026 out of Fort Lauderdale, the Haunted Mansion Parlor gives couples the opportunity to exchange vows in a space that stands apart from traditional venues. The wedding package includes an officiant, floral arrangements, a custom cake, and a champagne celebration. Guests are free to enjoy the rest of the cruise experience – from imaginative dining and live entertainment to immersive excursions – before or after the ceremony.
Because the venue is intimate, accommodating just 25 people including the couple, it appeals to couples seeking something more personal and theatrical. Whether you’re a Haunted Mansion fan or simply drawn to creative, unconventional wedding options, this offering puts a spirited twist on the traditional vow exchange. The Parlor’s blend of elegance and eerie charm makes it perfect for couples who want their wedding to be memorably different.
Why This Venue Stands Out
The significance of this themed wedding option is multi-layered. First, it underscores how destination weddings are evolving: couples increasingly seek immersive experiences that reflect their personalities, rather than standard ceremonies.
By marrying the rich storytelling of the Haunted Mansion attraction with the intimacy of a cruise-ship ceremony, Disney taps into a growing trend of marrying creativity with celebration. Second, it highlights the cruise line’s growing role as a wedding destination. While destination weddings on ships aren’t new, offering a venue with such immersive theming elevates the experience beyond “wedding at sea” to “wedding as story.”
Ultimately, the Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard Disney Destiny is more than a venue – it’s an experience. It invites couples to step into a world of enchantment, romance, and ghostly intrigue, all while surrounded by loved ones and the high seas. For those who dream of an unforgettable wedding that tells a tale, this one-of-a-kind venue offers a perfect chapter.
