Disney Cruise Line: An Update on Disney Wish Construction From Germany
If you were following along with us over the weekend we shared some footage of the incredible progress being made on the Disney Wish. The ship is currently being built in Germany and will begin sailing in the Summer of 2022.
We’ll share the time-lapse video below in case you missed it! It is really is awe-inspiring.
There’s been several recent milestones when it comes to the construction of the Wish. Check out a few of them below:
Forward Funnel Installed
Back in July, the forward funnel was installed on the top deck. The images do a great job of showing you just how HUGE the section of the ship is.
The funnels are a characteristic Disney Cruise Line ships and are reminiscent of classic ocean liners with the Disney Cruise Line logo clearly visible on each side. But the funnel also has a functional purpose!
The funnel houses one of the main engines’ exhaust pipes but the forward funnel offers something truly unique – the Wish Tower Suite. This 2,000- foot penthouse in the sky will offer unparalleled views of the ocean. As you can see from the concept art above, the luxurious décor will also make it the epitome of elegance!
Last Block Mounted
Back in August, Disney Cruise Line’s team of Imagineers at the Meyer Werft shipyard completed the momentous task of mounting the last block of the Disney Wish.
As you can imagine, this was a huge moment for the Disney team. Once added to the ship, those involved in the project could get their first view of the exterior of the ship all together as it should be.
That also means that the Disney Wish is nearly complete from a construction point of view. All that’s left is the interior outfitting, cabin installations and ship commissioning!
Stern Filigree Completed
We wanted to conclude our update of the Disney Wish with a look at the completion of the stern filigree for the ship. This proudly carries the name of the ship: Disney Wish.
This gives a sense of what’s to come for the bow filigree. We expect Disney to update this further in the months to come!
The Disney Wish will begin transporting guests beginning in Summer 2022. The ship will specialize in 3 or 4-night itineraries to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral! Don’t miss your chance to be a part of Disney history by booking your 2022 voyage today!
