Disney Cruise Line’s 5th Cruise Ship Will Be Delayed

Disney Cruise Line’s fifth cruise ship, Disney Wish, will now debut later than expected due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Disney Wish is the first of three cruise ships in a new class for the cruise line. The 140,000 gross ton ship was originally scheduled to be delivered in late 2021. The launch for Disney Wish has now been delayed but the ship will sail from Port Canaveral when completed.

Disney Wish is currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany.  It will be the first vessel in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet to feature an eco-friendly LNG drive system.

We’re in negotiations and discussions with the shipyard to finalize dates, but as soon as we have those, we’ll make an announcement for when the fifth ship will be delivered. But it is delayed from what we originally anticipated.”
