Disney Cruise Line Expands Fleet to 13 Ships

Disney Cruise Line plans to expand its fleet to 13 ships by 2031, including four new vessels launching between 2027 and 2031. This expansion features a fifth Wish-class ship, set for delivery in 2027, alongside three new ships that will be approximately 100,000 gross tons and accommodate 3,000 passengers each, allowing access to more ports. The new ships will incorporate advanced sustainable technologies, including next-generation power systems and the capability to use various fuels, aligning with Disney's commitment to environmental sustainability. The new class of ships will be about 20% larger than the original Disney Magic and Wonder ships but smaller than the Dream and Wish classes. All four ships will be designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. Specific names and itineraries for the new vessels are still in development.
