First Gigablock of Disney Believe Floats Out
From DisneyParksBlog - Disney Believe Ship Log
September 18th, 2026
Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Believe, is taking shape at the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany! Earlier today, the first of three gigablocks was completed and floated out of the shipyard, marking an important step in the construction process for the 2027-expected ship.
In case you’re wondering what a Gigablock is, you can think
of building a cruise ship like putting together a giant 3D puzzle. Instead of
building the whole thing in one piece, shipbuilders construct the vessel in
large sections – gigablocks – complete with walls, plumbing, and wiring. Once the
sections, which can weigh over 31,000 tons, are finished, they’re welded
together like puzzle pieces to complete the ship.
The first section contains the midship of the Disney Believe, which is home to some familiar places like the Grand Hall. The next gigablock to be constructed will be the forward portion, followed by the aft.
Stay tuned to the Official Ship’s Log for more construction updates
as the Disney Believe gets closer to setting sail for the first time.
