Video captures stunning first look at Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship
Disney Cruise Line’s soon-to-launch Disney Treasure ship has floated out for the first time at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
With a tugboat leading the way while music played and fireworks going off, the 4,000-passenger ship exited a building through a narrow doorway, which left three feet on either side of the vessel.
The float out ceremony marks the completion of the ship’s exterior and the beginning of the finishing touches to its interior venues ahead of its transatlantic journey to Port Canaveral in Florida.
Its maiden cruise will be a round-trip eastern Caribbean sailing with calls to the British Virgin Islands, the US Virgin Islands and the line’s private island, Disney Castaway Cay, departing on 21 December.
In early summer, the final stateroom was installed on Disney Treasure which has 1,246 cabins in total.
Each cabin was prefabricated at an off-site factory and loaded onto trucks and transported to the shipyard where they were placed on the ship.
Treasure’s sister ship, Disney Destiny, will open for bookings next month for sailings from Fort Lauderdale.
Destiny will operate four- to five-night cruises to The Bahamas and western Caribbean. The itineraries include calls to one or both Disney Castaway or the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
In March, the line revealed Destiny will be themed around “heroes and villains”, drawing on the legacy of Disney stories, characters and theme park attractions.
The 4,000-passenger ship, scheduled for delivery next year, is also being built at Meyer Werft Shipyard.
