Meyer Werft Assigns Hull Numbers to New Disney Cruise Line Ships
In a recent announcement from Meyer Werft, the shipyard building the next wave of Disney Cruise Line vessels, five new ships have officially been assigned hull numbers, complete with their projected completion dates.

Germany’s Meyer Werft Shipyard recently released an updated list detailing all the new Disney Cruise Line ships currently under construction. For the first time, several of these upcoming projects have been assigned hull numbers(also referred to as “Yard Numbers” in the publication). These numbers serve as unique identifiers for each vessel being built. The assignment of these new numbers suggests that construction on these ships is either set to begin soon or will significantly accelerate for those already underway.
Given that building a new cruise ship is a multi-year endeavor, Meyer Werft’s list provides projected delivery dates stretching all the way through 2031.
This updated list from Meyer Werft includes several already-announced ships. For example, the Disney Destiny, which recently touched water for the first time, is still set for its maiden voyage on November 20, 2025. Also featured is the Disney Adventure, formerly the Global Dream before Disney Cruise Line acquired it in 2022, with its maiden voyage scheduled out of Singapore on December 15, 2025.
The newly assigned hull numbers — 722, 723, 731, 732, and 733 — correspond to projects slated for delivery between 2027 and 2031. Notably, hull number 723 has the earliest delivery date in 2027 and is categorized as a Wish-class ship, similar to the Disney Destiny and Treasure. Meanwhile, hull number 722 is assigned to the upcoming ship for the Oriental Land Company, expected for delivery in 2028 and projected to begin operations in 2029.
The remaining three new hull numbers – 731, 732, and 733 – are all designated for Disney Cruise Line, but they represent a new, unnamed class of ships that will be smaller than the current Wish-class vessels. While these will be more compact than the Dream and Wish classes, they’re still set to be 20% larger than the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.
These innovative ships will feature upgraded technology, including the capability to run on a variety of fuels, a battery system to support the main engines, and a streamlined hull design. The first of these, hull number 731, is anticipated for delivery in 2029. The subsequent two, 732 and 733, are projected for delivery in 2030 and 2031, respectively. If Disney Cruise Line retains the Magic and Wonder, these additions will expand their fleet to 13 ships by the end of 2031. Beyond the Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure, the names and further details for these upcoming vessels have yet to be announced.
