History

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 would be LNG-powered and would 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 has 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 world's 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] In May 2022, it was announced that the ship would dock at Port Canaveral on June 20, followed by a livestreamed christening ceremony and a cruise for news media and travel experts on June 29.[20][21]

On June 9, 2022, Disney Wish was officially handed over to Disney Cruise Line, with the shipyard stating that the ship sailed to Portugal and Castaway Cay before her transatlantic voyage to Port Canaveral.[22] She arrived at Port Canaveral on June 20, 2022, where she was welcomed by Mickey and Minnie Mouse.[23] On June 21, 2022, the ship's first test cruise was cancelled, due to the ship not being ready.[24] The following day, the second test cruise scheduled for June 24, 2022 was also cancelled to focus on the christening ceremony.[25][26] On June 24, 2022, all past, present, and future Make-A-Wish children were announced to be the godchildren of the ship.[27] On June 29, 2022, Disney Wish was officially christened by three ambassadors of the Make-A-Wish children before embarking on her 3-night christening cruise for the media to Castaway Cay.[28]

On July 14, 2022, Disney Wish officially entered service and embarked on her maiden voyage, a five-night Bahamian cruise stopping at Nassau and Castaway Cay.[29]

Disney Wish was announced to play songs from Disney movies and parks using its horns, specifically: "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella, "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast, "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" from Pirates of the Caribbean, the Pinocchio songs "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)", "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from Frozen, "It's a Small World (After All)", and the "Star Wars (Main Title)".
