History[edit]
In March 2016, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships, described as larger than Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy but with an equivalent number of staterooms.[5][6] A third ship of the class was announced on July 15, 2017 at the D23 Expo.[7] In March 2018, Disney Cruise Line released the first rendering of its new generation of cruise ships.[8][9] The 140,000-ton cruise liners will be LNG-powered and will accommodate at least 2,500 guests.[10] In January 2019, the class of ship was confirmed as Triton in public documents published by Port Canaveral.[11][12] Then, on August 25, 2019 the fifth ship was officially announced as the Disney Wish at the D23 Expo.[13] Construction began in March 2020 at Meyer Werft, Germany,[14] with the delivery date later changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
Also announced at the D23 Expo was that Rapunzel would feature as the stern character on Disney Wish, with The Walt Disney Company releasing the design mock-ups for the ship, including a render of Cinderella as the ship's atrium character.[13]
On April 8, 2021, it was announced that Captain Minnie would be the centrepiece of the Disney Wish bow,[16] on the same day, the keel laying ceremony took place.[17] The magic coin was placed beneath the ship's hull, featuring Captain Minnie, the hull number S705 and the date that the keel laying took place.[17]
On April 29, 2021, Disney Cruise Line shared a first look at their newest ship, Disney Wish, set to embark in mid-2022.[18] Disney Wish will feature restaurants, immersive spaces and experiences themed to Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar characters and adventures, plus the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, with a goal of accommodating and equally satisfying adults and children. The ship will have 1,250 staterooms.[1]
On February 3, 2022, it was announced that Disney Wish's inaugural sailings were pushed back 6 weeks, due to shipyard delays. This moved her maiden voyage from June 9, 2022 to July 14, 2022.[3]
On February 11, 2022, Disney Wish completed her float out in Papenburg, Germany, where the stern figure Rapunzel was revealed for the first time.[19]
