Disney Wish

Disney Wish is a cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company. She is the fifth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the lead vessel of the Wish class. The ship was followed by sister ships Disney Treasure (2024) and Disney Destiny (2025), with two additional ships in the class scheduled to enter service in 2027 (Disney Believe, announced March 18th, 2026) and 2029. The Wish class was ordered on March 3, 2016, and built by Meyer Werft at its shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Construction began with the keel laying on April 8, 2021, and the ship was launched on February 11, 2022. She was completed on February 6, 2022, acquired by Disney Cruise Line on June 9, 2022, and christened on June 29, 2022. The ship entered service with her maiden voyage on July 14, 2022. The ship reportedly cost approximately US$1.1 billion (equivalent to $1.21 billion in 2025). The Wish class is slightly larger than the preceding Dream class, with a gross tonnage of approximately 144,000, compared with about 130,000 for Dream-class ships, while retaining the same number of guest cabins. During development, the class was known internally as the Triton class. The class also marked several firsts for Disney Cruise Line, including the adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a lower-emission fuel and the use of azimuthing podded propulsion (Azipod).
