Disney Cruise Line and German shipyard Meyer Werft held a joint ceremony to celebrate the laying of the keel of Disney Cruise Line's newest ship on Wednesday, March 20.
The Lloyd's Register-classed ship will be a sister of Disney Wish, which was delivered by Meyer Werft in 2022.
Once completed, the vessel will have 1,250 cabins housing a maximum of 5,500 guests, a gross tonnage of 144,000, and an LNG propulsion system. Around 90 per cent of the staterooms will be outside cabins, which also include balcony staterooms and premium single cabins and suites with concierge services.
The other facilities will include Disney-themed restaurants, both family and adults-only lounges, 10 pools, a waterpark, children's play areas, a theatre, spas, fitness centres, saunas, and outdoor recreational areas.
Delivery of the vessel is scheduled for 2025. The future Disney Treasure, another sister ship, is under construction at Meyer Werft's Papenburg facilities and will be handed over to Disney Cruise Line before the end of this year.
