Disney Cruise Line has pulled from some of Disney’s oldest source material to inspire the venues coming to Disney Treasure when it debuts from Port Canaveral later this year.
The latest addition comes from the 1970 animated feature “The Aristocats.”
The Scat Cat Lounge paying homage to one of the most iconic voice actors, Scatman Crothers, will be pounding out jazz just off the atrium with cat-themed adornments to what’s promised to be an old-school jazz club.
Images and details of the new venue were posted Thursday to the Disney Parks Blog touting the addition as bringing “the groovy penthouse performance of ‘Ev’rybody Wants to be a Cat’ into the real world for the first time.”
The piano, for instance, will sport paw prints from the wet paint scene from the movie while the carpeting will mirror ornate designs similar to those animated in the Parisian maison of Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, the owner of well-to-do Eva Gabor-voiced character Duchess and her kittens. Fans of the film will see their silhouettes at the entrance while the musical street feline Scat Cat’s signature horn will double as a door handle. Among the decorations will be hidden images of a certain mouse. Nope, not Mickey, but Roquefort.
As it’s adjacent to the Grand Hall, which is themed to the fictional Middle Eastern land of Agrabah from “Aladdin,” the colors and architecture will pull from a similar palate.
The drink menu will include special cocktails such as the Créme de la Créme Martini and a beverage called The Cat Drink.
Disney Cruise Line queues up old and new features for new ship Disney Treasure
The venue joins Disney Treasure spaces themed to iconic theme park rides and movies including “The Haunted Mansion,” “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and “Jungle Cruise.”
Construction on the 144,000-gross-ton, 4,000-passenger vessel continues at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
The sister ship to Disney Wish that debuted in 2022 will begin sailing from Port Canaveral in December, taking on seven-night Caribbean itineraries.
A third ship in the Wish class, Disney Destiny, is due in 2025, and its home port and itineraries are expected to be revealed later this summer.
The three ships, along with the purchase of the unfinished Global Dream cruise ship that DCL acquired in 2023 and was renamed Disney Adventure, will grow the DCL fleet to eight vessels by the end of 2025.
