Disney Wish is the fifth cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. She is the largest ship in the fleet and the first of the Triton-class. She is scheduled to enter service in July 2022, followed by her sister ships in 2024 and 2025. The other four ships in the fleet are the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy.

History[edit]

In March 2016, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships, described as larger than Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy but with an equivalent number of staterooms.[5][6] A third ship of the class was announced on July 15, 2017 at the D23 Expo.[7] In March 2018, Disney Cruise Line released the first rendering of its new generation of cruise ships.[8][9] The 140,000-ton cruise liners will be LNG-powered and will accommodate at least 2,500 guests.[10] In January 2019, the class of ship was confirmed as Triton in public documents published by Port Canaveral.[11][12]

On August 25, 2019, the fifth ship was officially announced as the Disney Wish at the D23 Expo.[13] Construction began in March 2020 at Meyer Werft, Germany,[14] with the delivery date later changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15][16] Also announced at the D23 Expo was that Rapunzel would feature as the stern character on Disney Wish, with The Walt Disney Company releasing the design mock-ups for the ship, including a render of Cinderella as the ship's atrium character.[13]

On April 8, 2021, during the keel laying ceremony, it was announced that Captain Minnie would be the centrepiece of the Disney Wish.[17] On April 29, 2021, Disney Cruise Line shared a first look at their newest ship, Disney Wish, set to embark in mid-2022.[18] Disney Wish will have 1,250 staterooms, along with several restaurants, immersive spaces and experiences themed to Walt Disney Pictures, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and Pixar characters, plus the AquaMouse, the first Disney attraction at sea.[1]

On February 3, 2022, it was announced that Disney Wish's inaugural sailings were pushed back from June 9 to July 14, 2022, due to shipyard delays.[3] On February 11, 2022, Disney Wish completed her float out in Papenburg, Germany, where the stern figure Rapunzel was revealed for the first time.[19]
