Germany’s Meyer Werft has floated out the third LNG-powered vessel it is building for Disney Cruise Line, a unit of the US-based Walt Disney Company.
The new cruise ship, Disney Destiny, left Meyer Werft’s large building dock in Papenburg on Saturday and is now berthed in the shipyard’s harbor, according to social media posts by Meyer Werft and Disney Cruise Line.
Disney Cruise Line expects the vessel to set sail on its maiden voyage on November 20, 2025, kicking off an inaugural season of 4- and 5-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean.
In March 2024, Meyer Werft held a keel-laying ceremony for the third LNG-powered vessel in this batch.
Disney Destiny is a sister vessel to Disney Wish and Disney Treasure.
Meyer Werft delivered the first LNG-powered cruise vessel in this batch, Disney Wish, in June 2022, and Disney Treasure last year.
In addition to these three vessels, Meyer Werft also held a keel-laying ceremony for the fourth Wish-class ship last week.
The shipbuilder said in a separate social media post that the delivery of this vessel is scheduled for 2027.
