Disney Cruise Line has revealed the first details and images of its new ship class, which will be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. With deliveries scheduled for 2029 and 2030, the series of newbuilds will initially include three 105,000-ton vessels. The company revealed a rendering of the ships during its D23 Expo, which will feature a look similar to Wish-class vessels.
The ship will feature a three-deck-high glass area amidship, while bringing back the company’s traditional look with a black and gold hull and two funnels. The company highlighted a few fundamentals of the new class project, noting that it will have an optimised hull. The class will also feature what Disney called a state-of-the-art lightweight design, which will allow for more energy efficiency.
The new ship was designed to capture the magic of the ocean, with new features set to be revealed at a later date. The vessels are expected to have capacity for up to 3,000 passengers. Before welcoming the first of the new class, Disney is introducing the new Disney Believe in 2027, currently under construction at Meyer Werft. The series also includes a fifth Wish-class vessel scheduled for delivery in early 2029.
Disney Cruise Line shared “ thinking ahead and creating new attractions for months and years to come, we keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things. The new ship was designed to capture the magic of the ocean, with new features set to be revealed at a later date.”
