On Tuesday night, Disney Cruise Line christened its newest ship, the 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure, at a glittering ceremony at New York City's Pier 66, complete with a drone show and live performance by Jordin Sparks, singing the ship's anthem. On Wednesday, TPG got a sneak preview of the ship and tried out its highly anticipated new spaces, including the Haunted Mansion Bar and Plaza de Coco restaurant.

Disney Treasure shares the same layout as its sister ship, Disney Wish, but its interior spaces have unique decor and theming. The ship is dedicated to adventure and exploration, and some of its signature bars are inspired by iconic Disney theme park attractions.

Here, we give you a first look inside Disney's newest cruise ship with photos from our ship tour. Stay tuned — TPG will be reporting from an actual sailing in December when we'll get to experience the venues under full activation.

First impressions

Disney Treasure Grand Hall
Grand Hall. ERICA SILVERSTEIN/THE POINTS GUY

Disney Treasure's Grand Hall evokes the palaces of Africa and Asia, with a not-so-secret nod to Disney's "Aladdin." The central carpet has a fountain motif, and the elaborate chandelier pays homage to the six current ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

In addition to being everyone's first impression of the ship after embarkation, the Grand Hall is the site of various performances, including live music and storytelling by new characters Coriander and Sage. (They will even perform after-hours stories for adults.)

From the Grand Hall, guests can set out in many directions to find adventure aboard Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure restaurants

Plaza de Coco

Plaza de Coco is a Mexican-inspired restaurant based on the movie "Coco" and is the ship's new addition to the included dining rotation. The space is warm and inviting with rich colors, and the hallway leading to the venue sets the tone for the meal to come, complete with family photos and an ofrenda.

The dining experience here will include live mariachi music and dancing by the characters from the "Coco" film, with two distinct shows because guests will eat dinner here twice on a weeklong sailing. The first show has a family theme, while the second celebrates Dia de los Muertos.

Jumbeaux's Sweets is a new ice cream parlor and candy shop inspired by Jumbeaux's Cafe in the movie "Zootopia." You can order all kinds of ice cream, sundaes in souvenir containers and many other treats.

While you're here, look out for lemmings.

Disney Treasure bars

Disney Treasure is introducing a handful of new, immersive bars with fun Disney themes. Skipper Society is inspired by Disney's Jungle Cruise ride and its wisecracking skippers.

Expect lots of bad puns and drinks with a jungle theme. For a snack, try the waffles drizzled with Nutella.

Periscope Pub

Periscope Pub takes its theme from Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (and Disney's 1954 movie version of the book and theme park attraction).

The bar is the place to order craft beers, as well as extra-fee pub food, like a burger or soft pretzel. Don't forget to look up, as you never know which creatures will be swimming overhead.

The Haunted Mansion Parlor

The Haunted Mansion Parlor on Disney Treasure takes a seafaring approach to the creepy-yet-beloved Haunted Mansion theme park attraction.

The bar's show, complete with a seance and a tale of a murder at sea, unfurls in five-minute increments over the course of 1 1/2 hours. Families are welcome to enjoy the spooky ambience and fun sodas and mocktails until 9 p.m., when the space becomes adults-only.

Scat Cat Lounge

Just off the ship's Grand Hall, the Scat Cat Lounge is inspired by Disney's "The Aristocats" animated film.

It's a swanky place to enjoy some jazz piano and cocktails served in glasses with cat faces. Signature drinks include tea-themed cocktails.

Other bars on board include the Hei Hei Cafe and Jade Cricket Cafe.

Disney Treasure's cabins

Disney Treasure will have 1,256 cabins and suites ranging from windowless inside cabins to a two-story suite in the ship's faux funnel. Cabin design will incorporate scenes from Disney movies like "Aladdin," "Pocahontas," "Finding Nemo," "Up," "Luca" and "Encanto."

The Concierge Suites will feature nods to "The Lion King," while the four Royal Suites pay homage to the tigers found in "The Jungle Book" and "Aladdin."

The Royal Suites are incredible two-story suites with a living area downstairs and sleeping area upstairs, plus an expansive balcony with an infinity hot tub.

The most elaborate suite on the ship will be the two-story Tomorrow Tower Suite. The nearly 2,000-square-foot, multiroom suite features a futuristic design inspired by Epcot and can sleep up to eight guests. Due to its location in the ship's faux funnel, it does not come with a private balcony.

Public spaces

Pool deck and AquaMouse

Disney Treasure's pool deck is not just a watery playground, perfect for cooling off on hot days. It's also the space for Disney's signature deck parties, including the Pirate Night shows with fireworks.

Water ride AquaMouse returns on Disney Treasure with a third, new show in its rotation of animated shorts. Called "Curse of the Golden Egg," the animation will follow Mickey and Minnie as they search for lost treasure inside an ancient temple.

Toy Story Splash Zone.

Kids in diapers will have a blast at the "Toy Story"-themed splash area; I'm sure some adults will be tempted to play here, too.

Oceaneer Club.

Disney's Oceaneer Club is one of the most creative kids clubs in the cruise industry, and Disney Treasure's complimentary youth facilities are no exception. As on Disney Wish, kids (and adults) can enter the club via a slide from the Grand Hall.

Inside, a warren of adorable themed rooms offer an array of programming, from an Imagineering Lab to Marvel Academy and Fairytale Hall. Kids can design theme park rides and test them out in a ride simulator, or design their own superhero suit.

Adults can sample the fun during open-house hours; otherwise, the Oceaneer Club is kids-only.

It's a Small World Nursery.

Broadway-style shows

Disney Treasure will debut "Disney The Tale of Moana" as its new Broadway-style musical. We got a sneak peek of Act 1, and the sets, puppets, costumes and choreography are breathtaking. The cast is one of the most diverse that Disney has ever had on a cruise ship, and Disney made sure that cultural consultants of Hawaiian and Samoan descent were involved in music and choreography choices.

The ship's other shows will be "Seas the Adventure" and "Beauty and the Beast."

Disney Treasure sets sail on its maiden voyage Dec. 21, and will spend its debut sailing on alternating weeklong Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Families and cruisers of all ages are going to love this ship for its warm, welcoming decor and cleverly themed spaces.
