Let’s Talk Disney Cruise Line Growth!!
Meyer Werft is building the new Disney Cruise Line Ships. This is an exciting time for DCL!
Meyer Werft has built all but the original Classic-Class,
Disney Magic and Disney Wonder ships for Disney Cruise Line. In 2011 and 2012 Meyer
Werft delivered The Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. In 2022 and 2024 Meyer Werft
delivered The Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, the 1st of the
Wish-Class Disney Ships.
In 2025 Meyer Werft will deliver the Disney Destiny, 3rd
of the Wish-Class and a unique ship called the Disney Adventure, Global-Class
Disney Ship. Disney Destiny joins the Disney fleet for her Maiden Voyage,
November 20th, 2025. Disney Destiny will sail out of Fort
Lauderdale, Fl. Destiny will be the 7th ship in the Disney Fleet.
Disney Adventure is being built at what is now the second
Meyer Werft shipyard at Disney’s behest. Adventure is a ship that was being
built for the Hong Kong based, Star Cruise Line. Star Cruise Line commissioned
the ship, to be named the Global Dream. Star Cruise Line went under during the
Covid Pandemic and the Global Dream sat in the MV Werften Shipyard. The ship builder
went under as well. In stepped Disney and they purchased the Global Dream for a
good deal and asked Meyer Werft to re-imagine and complete the ship for them.
Meyer Werft took over the MV Werften yard in Wismar, Germany and they are in
the process of completing her. Disney Adventure will join the fleet, December
of 2025. Disney Adventure will sail out of Singapore for at least the first 5
years. Adventure is the 8th Ship in the Disney Fleet. Disney
Adventure is 208,000 GT, length, 1,221 Ft, with a beam of 152 feet. She will be
231 feet tall. She can hold 6,700 passengers.
So that brings us current to 2025 with the Disney Cruise
line and a fleet of 8 ships. What next?? On the Meyer Werft shipyards webpage,
they list the ships that have been ordered until 2031. These ships have not
been built or named as of yet. Let me share what is there to know.
After The Destiny and Adventure there will be a wait until
2027 for the next Disney Ship. The 2027 ship will be the 4th
Wish-Class ship to be built for Disney. Name and home port has not been released
yet. The Wish-Class ships are 140,000 GT and have 1,250 passenger cabins, with a
passenger capacity of 4,000.
In 2028 the 5th Wish-Class ship will be
completed. This ship is being built for Disney at the request of the Oriental
Land Company. She does not have a name as of yet. We do know she will be
sailing out of the Port of Tokyo doing 3-5 day cruises there. She will be the
same size and layout as the other Wish-Class ships
In 2029 there will be a completely new class of Disney Ships
starting to be built! The 2nd will be completed in 2030 and the 3rd
in 2031. Unlike other cruise lines that are going bigger, Disney is going
smaller! These ships will be 20% bigger than the Classic ships and smaller than
the Dream-Class ships. They will be around 100,000 GT and carry 3,000
passengers. This is approximately 600 more passengers than the Classic-Class
ships and 1,000 fewer than the Dream-Class. The ship(s) are being designed to
be able to go to more ports that cannot accommodate the larger ships.
By 2031 there will be 13 ships in The Disney Fleet! This is
exciting news for those who love the Magical Cruises Disney provides!
