A big moment just took place behind the scenes of Disney Cruise Line: construction has officially begun on the fleet’s fourth Wish-class ship, thanks to the ceremonial start known as the steel cutting.
Held at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, the steel cutting ceremony is a time-honored maritime tradition that marks the very first step in building a new ship. Using a giant machine, the ship’s first piece of steel is cut into shape, symbolizing the exciting beginning of construction. For Disney fans, this moment means we’re one step closer to welcoming another magical ship to the seas.
This fourth Wish-class ship will follow in the footsteps of the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and the recently announced Disney Destiny. Each vessel in this class combines innovative technology, immersive storytelling, and the signature Disney service that families have come to love.
While many details, including the ship’s name, themes, and itineraries, are still under wraps, the steel cutting confirms that the project is full steam ahead.
The new ship is expected to offer state-of-the-art experiences, plenty of family entertainment, and enchanting design touches inspired by Disney stories. Stay tuned, because as the ship begins to take shape, more magical details are sure to be revealed!
In addition to the steel cutting ceremony, we learned that the Disney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, will float out of its construction hall at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. This milestone marks the moment the vessel touches water for the first time and begins navigating toward deeper waters inside the dock. Once afloat, Disney’s team will begin outfitting the ship’s interiors and conducting vital onboard system tests. Afterward, the Destiny will prepare for its maiden voyage in November 2025, bringing Disney magic to sea like never before.
