Disney Cruise Line has acquired the partially completed ship Global Dream
The ex-Global Dream will be remodelled and imaginered to fit the Disney Cruise theming.
Disney Cruise Line has acquired the partially completed ship Global Dream, which was left unfinished following the failure of Genting Hong Kong, the former owner of Crystal Cruises.
The ship will be renamed with certain features reimagined under the Walt Disney brand and is expected to sail to new destinations in 2025 from the US.
"Our cruise ships give us the unique opportunity to bring Disney magic to fans no matter where they are, and the addition of this ship will make a Disney Cruise Line vacation accessible to more families than ever before," said Josh D’Amaro, chair of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
The new ship will feature Disney experiences along with entertainment and dining options, and the exterior will be adorned in the Mickey Mouse-inspired colours of the fleet, complete with signature red funnels.
The 208,000-gross-tonne ship is expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be powered by green methanol, one of the lowest-emission fuels available.
Disney expects the passenger capacity to be approximately 6,000 with around 2,300 crew members.
More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced later.
