DISNEY Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman, Bob Chapek, has announced that the newest Disney Cruise Line ship will be named Disney Wish.
The newbuild, set to debut in Jan 2022, will be the fifth vessel in the fleet, with her stern stylishly adorned by Rapunzel (pictured), a Disney Princess who “embodies the wish and desire to see and experience the world” according Chapek, who revealed the details at the D23 Expo yesterday in Anaheim, California.
Disney Wish will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and feature 1,250 guest staterooms.
A three-storey atrium is “inspired by the beauty of an enchanged fairytale,” Disney said.
Wish is the first of three sister ships commissioned by Disney for construction by Meyer Werft, with the subsequent vessels set to arrive on an annual basis.
Disney has also revealed further details of its second private island in the Bahamas, which will be located at Lighthouse Point.
The company has signed an agreement with the government of the Bahamas, with the pact aiming to guide the sustainable development of the destination.
Chapek said Disney would engage with local artists “to create a unique destination that is rooted in Bahamian culture and imbued with Disney magic”.
