A new Disney cruise ship, set to be registered and based in Japan, will be constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The ship will be a sister to the popular Disney Wish and will feature many guest-favorite venues and experiences. Designed with Japanese guests in mind, the ship will be approximately 140,000 gross tons, powered by liquefied natural gas, and will have about 1,250 staterooms. Walt Disney Imagineering is hard at work creating imaginative designs to ensure the ship offers the perfect mix of fun and relaxation.
