German shipbuilder Meyer Werft has floated out the newest Disney Cruise Line ship Disney Treasure at its shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
A group of spectators gathered to watch the construction milestone, which was marked with fireworks, musical fanfare and an appearance by Disney character Voyager Minnie Mouse.
Disney Treasure was guided out of its construction dock by a tugboat on 3 August 2024
The ship will move to an outfitting dock where the finishing touches will be completed on its interior venues, which will introduce the attractions of Disney’s theme parks to sea for the first time. The 1,256 staterooms onboard are expected to feature custom artwork and design elements from Disney films, including Aladdin, Pocahontas, Up and Encanto.
Once complete the ship will sail a transatlantic journey to its future homeport of Port Canaveral in Florida. It is scheduled to sail its maiden passenger cruise, a seven-day Eastern Caribbean roundtrip, on 21 December 2024.
The ship will homeport at Port Canaveral in Florida from December 2024
