Disney Destiny Embarks on Sea Trials
The Disney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, has left the Meyer Werft shipyard to begin sea trials, a key step before its first official cruise later this year.
Earlier this year, the Disney Destiny celebrated its first “float out” as it was moved from the shipyard’s construction hall. Now, the ship is making its way to Eemshaven, Netherlands. From there, it will head to the North Sea for a series of sea trials. The ship was greeted with a fireworks display as it departed Papenburg, Germany.
After completing its sea trials, the Disney Destiny will officially be handed over to Disney Cruise Line. The new vessel is expected to make its transatlantic journey to Florida in late October or early November. The ship’s maiden voyage is set for November 20, departing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.
The inaugural sailing season will continue for several months after the ship’s debut, with special gifts planned for Castaway Club members. The new Disney Destiny will introduce a variety of brand-new experiences. These include a Broadway-style “Hercules” stage show and a Super Minnie meet-and-greet, both of which fit the ship’s heroes and villains theme.
