Meyer Werft delivered Disney Treasure, earlier than contractually agreed, to Disney Cruise Line.

The sister of 2022's Disney Wish is scheduled to begin sailing seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral Dec. 21.

Bringing the magic of Disney to more fans

'The Disney Treasure is yet another example of how we’re bringing the magic of Disney cruising to more fans than ever before. And today, we are one step closer to debuting this spectacular ship to the world,' said Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences. 'We’re incredibly thankful for our work with Meyer Werft and look forward to our bright future together as we continue to expand the Disney Cruise Line fleet.'

Effort and passion

Everyone at Meyer Werft 'put a lot of effort and passion into Disney Treasure,' Meyer Werft CEO Bernd Eikens said.

New elements of the ship include theatrical dining inspired by Pixar’s 'Coco,' an original Broadway-style adaptation of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film 'Moana' and a new collection of Disney Parks-inspired lounges for adults, like the first-ever Haunted Mansion-themed bar.

Disney Destiny due in 2025

Meyer Werft and Disney Cruise Line's partnership started with Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, delivered in 2010 and 2012. Ten years later, Disney Wish followed as DCL's first LNG-powered ship. The third ship in the class, Disney Destiny, is currently under construction in Papenburg and scheduled for delivered in 2025.

More to come

In August, Disney Cruise Line and Meyer Werft announced four additional ships to join DCL's fleet between 2027 and 2031. (Also, in July, Oriental Land Co., which owns and operates Disney parks in Tokyo, ordered a Wish-class ship that will be based year-round in Japan.)

Meyer Werft's orderbook include 10 cruise ships, a research vessel and four offshore converter platforms with deliveries scheduled through to 2031.
