Disney Cruise Line Grows

July 27, 2017

Disney Cruise Line continues to grow!  The line has has upsized its order of new ships from two to three, revealing that another new ship is set to debut in 2022. The move follows last year’s announcement that the family cruise line would build two ships in Germany with scheduled completion dates of 2021 and 2023.  This latest 135,000-ton ship will be built at the same shipyard and launched the year in between the two previously announced vessels.  All three are designed to be powered by clean-burning liquefied natural gas and have around 1,250 cabins, carrying upwards of 2,500 passengers, which is slightly larger than the newest Disney Cruise Line ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, launched back in 2011 and 2012.  The new names, design plans and itineraries are still in development, but each ship is expected to have its own unique features.  According to a media statement, the new ships “will usher in the next generation of innovative cruise experiences designed especially for families that will transform the art-of-cruising and take guests on adventures in a way never dreamed of before”.
