The ships are the first in the industry to be designed and built from the keel up as family cruise liners, with the goal of accommodating and equally satisfying adults and children.

{{Main|Disney Treasure}}
On September 11, 2022, the sixth ship was officially announced as the Disney Treasure at the D23 Expo. The ship is inspired by the theme of adventure, with the Grand Hall inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace which draws on inspiration from real-world Asia and Africa, as well as paying homage to Agrabah. She has a gross tonnage of 144,256 GT and 1,256 staterooms.
The ship was floated in the drydock in March 2024 for the first time and left the drydock in August. It left the shipyard towards Eemshaven on 18 September, where it arrived on 19 September. The ship left Eemshaven on 25 September at 23:14 (UTC+2) for Sea trials in the Skagerrak.
On 24 October, the ship was delivered in Eemshaven. She left Eemshaven on 29 October (16:39 (UTC+1)) towards Funchal, Portugal (ETA 2024-11-03 07:00 (UTC+0)).
On November 11, 2024, while on its delivery voyage, the ship rescued a family of four from a sinking sailboat off the coast of Bermuda. Disney Treasure was sailing 80 miles from the sailboat whose bilge pump could not contain the flood. Disney Treasure rescued all 4 occupants.

Disney Cruise Line is in the process of acquiring several new ships.
