De Vil's Piano Lounge Brings Cruella's Wicked Glamour to Disney Destiny
The Disney Destiny's adult-exclusive De Vil's piano lounge translates Cruella de Vil's Hollywood Regency aesthetic into a striking onboard bar — all red, black, and white — featuring a glowing fiber-optic Cruella hidden in the wall and live character interactions on the runway of the adjacent Grand Hall. A menu of avant-garde cocktails, including the boozy Fashionista and zero-proof Fearless Sir Galahad, rounds out the experience.
De Vil's, the adult-exclusive piano lounge aboard the Disney Destiny, channels the infamous style of Cruella de Vil from One Hundred and One Dalmatians into a boldly designed bar where drama is the entire point. From a fiber-optic Cruella materializing behind a spotted piano to live character runway events in the Grand Hall, the venue is engineered to be as theatrical as its muse.

Hollywood Regency Meets High Seas Villain Chic
The design of De Vil's is unambiguously Cruella: every surface is adorned in her signature color palette of red, black, and white, and the overall aesthetic draws from Hollywood Regency — bold, glamorous, and unapologetically over the top. The centerpiece is a spotted piano with a glowing fiber-optic Cruella that appears and disappears in the wall behind it. One side of the lounge opens directly to the Grand Hall, giving guests a prime seat to observe the ship's central gathering space.
Live Character Experiences
Encounters with Cruella de Vil herself are a recurring feature at De Vil's. The lounge hosts two brand-new entertainment experiences built around the character's larger-than-life persona.
The first takes place just outside De Vil's in the Grand Hall, where fashion-forward guests can walk Cruella's "wretched runway" and receive live commentary — whether she's fawning over an exquisite fashion choice or delivering dreadfully honest critique. The second experience triggers when the (apparently inaccurate, by Cruella's reckoning) "Cruella de Vil" song plays onboard: Cruella may recruit nearby guests for a bit of "treble"-making to produce a more flattering musical tribute to herself.
The Drinks Menu
The cocktail list at De Vil's is designed to complement Cruella's glamorous legacy. Two standout offerings showcase the range of the menu:
- Fashionista — freeze-dried strawberry and banana-infused Patrón Añejo Cristalino Tequila, banana liqueur, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice
- Fearless Sir Galahad — a zero-proof option combining Free Spirits Non-alcoholic Bourbon, bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and aromatic smoke
Why This Matters for Disney Villain Fans
De Vil's is among the most character-specific adult venues Disney Cruise Line has created — a space where the theming, entertainment, and drinks menu are all subordinate to a single villain's sensibility. For guests who appreciate the dramatic artistry of classic Disney villainy, the lounge offers an immersive evening that goes well beyond a standard bar experience.
