Disney has added a new motor cruiser to the waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Walt Disney World Resort. News of the new Tradewinds ship was released through Disney’s official TikTok:
What’s Happening:
- A brand new watercraft, the Tradewinds, has been added to the fleet of motor cruisers that cruise the Seven Seas Lagoon, the body of water between the Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center.
- This is the first new motor cruise watercraft to be added since 1993.
- The name Tradewinds was chosen by Imagineers and voted on by watercraft cast members.
- “Trade Winds” refers to the nearly constant wind that blows across the equator.
- Watercraft cast members also had input on the design of Tradewinds, from the amount of cabin space for guests to the position of the boat captain.
- Mickey Mouse and the Walt Disney World Ambassadors joined cast members to take the Tradewinds out for a test run.

- Billy Carter, a Transportation Engineering Services cast member: “It’s a great addition to the fleet. Everybody is really proud of it. I think it’s going to go over big time with the guests.”
