Well, there really hasn't been a post here that explains what Destiny is all about, so here goes:
An Ancient artifact is discovered in a Goa'uld chamber in Egypt in 2010, which tells of plans of plans that the Ancients had to leave earth nearly 10,000 years ago for the distant Caelum galaxy, after having left Atlantis. These Ancients did not plan to leave earth by Stargate, but by ship.
With this infomation, the newly formed ISGC approves a plan to use the XC-314, a ship on which construction has only begun, to search out this last strand of Ancients. We now jump to the year 2015 (four years after season 1 of Stargate: Horizon), and the XC-314, christened Destiny has finished construction, and is ready for launch. It is the largest, most advanced vessel ever constructed by earth, and is meant to perform on long range, long term exploration, which is exactly what its first mission will be.
The Destiny launches, and after a nine week journey in hyperspace, the ship and her 500+ crew arrive at the edge of the Caelum galaxy. Here they begin their explorations, and discover a powerful new enemy, bent on the destruction of humanity, as well as valuable allies and technology.
Expect to see plenty of battle, on both land and in space, a new and intriguing backstory to the Ancients, a fair share of character developments, and two great two-parters, as well as the fantastic pilot.
