Disney’s second LNG-powered newbuild on way to Florida

Disney Cruise Line’s second LNG-powered cruise vessel, Disney Treasure, embarked on its transatlantic journey from Eemshaven, Netherlands to its home in Port Canaveral, Florida.

The trip is expected to take about two weeks to complete.

According to Disney Cruise Line, a unit of the US-based Walt Disney Company, Disney Treasure is expected to embark on its maiden voyage on December 21.

Germany’s Meyer Werft delivered the second of three LNG-powered vessels to Disney Cruise Line, a unit of the US-based Walt Disney Company, on October 23.

In March last year, the shipbuilder held a keel-laying ceremony for this vessel and launched it in August this year.

The ship has 1,240 cabins and a size of 144,000 GT.

Meyer Werft delivered the first LNG-powered cruise vessel in this batch, Disney Wish, in June 2022.

Disney Wish arrived at Port Canaveral, Florida from Europe later the same month.

Earlier this year, Meyer Werft held a keel-laying ceremony for the third and final LNG-powered vessel in this batch.

Meyer Werft expects to deliver Disney Destiny in 2025.

In addition to these three vessels, Meyer Werft also secured a contract from Japan’s Oriental Land Company (OLC) to build a Disney Wish-class cruise ship powered by LNG for the Japanese market.

This vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028.
