The leader in family cruising will grow its award-winning fleet with imaginative innovations that are uniquely fun and distinctly Disney

CELEBRATION, Fla. – As previously announced in 2016 and 2017, Disney Cruise Line is building three additional cruise ships, each of them showcasing the immersive family entertainment, enchanting storytelling and unparalleled service that only Disney can deliver.

The ships will be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany.

“We pride ourselves on the unforgettable vacation experiences we deliver to our guests each and every day, and the expansion of our Disney fleet will allow us to create even more magical memories for families at sea and in incredible cruise destinations around the world,” said Robert A. Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company.

The three new ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas and, at approximately 144,000 gross tons and 1,250 guest staterooms, will be slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.

Transporting families to exotic ports of call, the Disney Dream is the majestic third ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, home to entertainment, dining, pools, nightclubs and more. Read our review and tips on Disney Dream here on Cruise Fever:this video tour of the D.

First Details on Newest Ship

Disney Cruise Line revealed the highly anticipated name of the fifth Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Wish, as well as a first look at the ship’s elegant, three-story atrium and the iconic Disney character that will adorn the ship’s stern.

The Disney Wish is expected to set sail beginning in summer 2022.

“There couldn’t be a better name for our incredible new ship because making wishes come true is part of the Disney DNA and is at the heart of so many of our cherished stories,” said Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

A new rendering reveals a first look at the ship’s bright and airy three-story atrium, inspired by the beauty of an enchanted fairytale.

Stern characters – a beloved hallmark of Disney Cruise Line vessels – have been a tradition of the Disney fleet since the beginning and reflect the theme of each ship. For the Disney Wish, the ship’s stern will feature Rapunzel. Spirited, smart, curious and above all, adventurous, Rapunzel embodies the wish and desire to see and experience the world.

“Each Disney Cruise Line ship is unique, with a name that embodies the excitement of sailing with Disney and the power of our stories. The new ships will have the experiences our guests love, as well as all-new magic,” Chapek added.

Disney Cruise Line

Since first setting sail in 1998, Disney Cruise Line has provided a quintessential family cruise vacation experience that combines the magic of Disney with the thrill of exploring different parts of the world. Guests step aboard majestic and beautiful ocean liners to enjoy legendary Disney entertainment, exquisite dining, spacious and well-appointed staterooms and magnificent public spaces.

The company also has been an industry leader in innovation and game-changing creativity. With the launch of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy in 2011 and 2012, the company introduced several firsts for the industry, including a water coaster at sea (AquaDuck) and virtual portholes in interior staterooms (Magical Portholes) that provide real-time views of the sea as well as sightings of animated Disney characters.

More details about the Disney Cruise Line fleet expansion and onboard offerings will be announced at a later date.

While there are laundry rooms on each level of the ships (that contain staterooms) where you can do your own laundry, Disney Cruise Line also offers a laundry service for those who do not want to do their own. In the closet of your room you will find a laundry bag and price list like this (prices below were in September 2019):

They also offer a pressing only service if you have wrinkled items that could use a good pressing. The basic service is next day, although you can pay more for same day or 3 hour service.

I have personally never used this service but I imagine it will only be a matter of time before I do. I have heard of people using it with good results.

But, before you start thinking about what a great souvenir that DCL laundry bag would make, think twice. If the laundry bag is not in your room when you disembark, your credit card will be charged something like $10 after you return home.

If you want to save some money and do your own laundry, there are several self-serve laundry rooms on each of the ships. If you aren’t sure where the closest one to your room is, ask your room host and they will point you in the right direction. It costs $3 to wash a load and $3 to dry. Single-use detergent and fabric softener are available for purchase for $1 each. If you bring your own detergent, make sure you bring the HE variety (these detergent sheets are much cheaper and get great reviews and are perfect for travel). No need to bring quarters because you just swipe your room key and the amount is charged to your onboard account. I suggest trying to do your laundry at off times like early in the morning or on a port day when most people are off the ship as the laundry rooms are small and tend to be crowded. I also suggest bringing a laundry bag or collapsible hamper for transporting your laundry in-between your stateroom and the laundry room. Also, irons are not allowed in staterooms, but each laundry room has an iron available.

Update: I did my own laundry for the first time on our recent Panama Canal cruise. The laundry room I used on the Wonder had 5 washers and 5 dryers and were full every time I walked by (most likely people were doing more laundry than usual because this was such a long cruise). I tried to do my laundry at off-peak times and still had to wait a few minutes for either a washer or dryer to become available. Please return promptly to remove your clothes when the cycle is complete in consideration of others who are waiting to use the machines. If you are using the DCL Navigator App (details here), then it will notify you when your machines are done.
