Disney Cruise Line is Growing!!
As of today, August 2024 Disney Cruise line as 5 ships. They are the Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy and Wish. By the end of next year DCL will have 3 more ships added to the line, Treasure, Destiny and Adventure! All ships, other than Adventure will be home ported in Florida, USA. Adventure will call Singapore home for at least 5 years. By the end of 2025 DCL will have 8 ships with 7 in the USA.
June 9th, 2024, DCL announced a partnership with
the Oriental Land Company, the owners of Disneyland Tokyo to build a Wish Class
ship for them to have based in Japan! Once that ship is up the DCL line will
have 9 ships!! OLC has said they will announce more ships at a later date!
At D23 Josh DAramo announced the addition of 4 more ships
taking the total number of DCL ships to 13!! The 4 new ships will join the
fleet between 2027 and 2031. The homeports, itineraries, names and themes of
the ships is still unknown. The process has just begun. Hopefully they will
move away from the Wish/Triton style or at least make corrections to the design
of the ship.
With the addition of 4 ships, I believe it will be possible
and yes, it is even advisable for DCL to leave 1 or 2 ships on the West Coast
of the US year round. They could leave one in Europe, add to the Japan and
Asian sailing, or put one in Australia. According to CLIA (Cruise Line
Internation Association) a leading Cruise Industry Association, the West Coast
of the US is a growing market. Asia is an area that lost a lot of clients during
the Pandemic and has yet to recover.
No matter what happens or where the ships end up being
homeported the next fw years are exciting for DCL fans!!
