Disney Cruise Line is Growing!!

 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 9^th, 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!!
