Germany MEYER WERFT announced on August 12 in its website that the shipyard and Disney Cruise Line will continue their long and successful part-nership–it will build four additional ships that will join Disney Cruise Line’s fleet between 2027 and 2031, giving families more opportunities to experience the world-class dining, exceptional entertainment, and signature hospitality that Disney Cruise Line is kown for. The ship names, designs, and itineraries are still in develop-ment.
“We are very happy to continue our partnership with Disney Cruise Line and build four additional outstanding ships over the next seven years. We now have eight ships for Disney Cruise Line in our order book which reflects the trust in our capabilities and hard work of our team”, says Bernard Meyer.
“Our Disney cruise ships are the true ambassadors for our brands and beloved by fami-lies the world over,” said Thomas Mazloum, president, New Experiences Portfolio and Disney Signature Experiences. “As we embark on this ambitious and unprecedented expansion for Disney Cruise Line, we are delighted to work with Meyer Werft once again.”
MEYER WERFT and Disney Cruise Line have a longstanding relationship, that started with Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, which were delivered in 2010 and 2012. In 2022, the first Wish-Class cruise ship Disney Wish was handed over to Disney Cruise Line. The two sister ships Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny are currently under con-struction in Papenburg and will be delivered in 2024 and 2025.
With this new order, MEYER WERFT has contracted 10 cruise ships, a research vessel and four offshore converter platforms, which will be delivered until 2031.
