Overview

  • The float-out marks the third Disney Wish-class vessel moving into final build stages at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany.
  • The ship will remain in Papenburg through several weeks of interior work before sea trials and a November 20, 2025, maiden voyage from Port Everglades.
  • Steel-cutting has commenced on the fourth Wish-class ship, an LNG-powered vessel of about 144,000 gross tonnes and 4,000-guest capacity slated for a 2027 entry into service.
  • Destiny’s interiors feature immersive spaces from a Cruella de Vil piano lounge and Haunted Mansion parlor to a Hercules Broadway-style show and interactive Marvel installations.
  • These milestones underscore Disney Cruise Line’s strategy to grow its fleet to 13 ships by 2031, with a Japan-homeported Wish-class ship in 2028 and three smaller vessels planned through 2031.
