Latest Updates from Newest Disney Cruise Line Ship Debuting 2024 where the Disney Treasure’s story began with the start of construction in January of 2023 and has continued to evolve ever since.
Today at Meyer Werft Shipyard, the Disney Treasure floated out of the building to dock into the shipyard harbor.
Maritime tradition.
A scene of excitement greeted the ship, as a group of cheering spectators in Papenburg, Germany, gathered to watch the special construction milestone.
The Float Out celebrates the completion of the ship’s exterior and is a significant maritime tradition.
A tugboat led the way, guiding the ship’s stern through the narrow doorway, which allowed for just three feet on either side of the vessel!
Finishing touches
The Disney Treasure is now ready for finishing touches to its interior venues as it continues to prepare for its transatlantic journey to its future home port in Florida.
First artist
A year ago, the ship’s log revealed the first artist rendering of the Disney Treasure’s stern. All these months later, the team at Meyer Werft Shipyard is celebrating the installment of the character sculptures. Before making their way to Papenburg, Germany, the sculptures were built in California.
To give an idea of the scale of these characters, Peter Pan is over 9 feet tall and wears a size 36.5 shoe! Both figures were carefully lifted by the shipyard team with cranes and securely bolted to the ship’s stern.
Classically designed
Captain Hook and Peter Pan complement the Disney Treasure’s theme of adventure and add a touch of Disney magic to the classically designed exterior of the ship.
Meyer Werft Shipyard
Few weeks ago, the final stateroom was installed on the beautiful Disney Treasure at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Needless to say, the process of positioning all 1,246 rooms inside the ship was quite an undertaking!
Off-site factory
It began when each cabin was prefabricated at an off-site factory on a slow-moving conveyor belt. As the cabins moved down the line, different team members went to work building out various components of the rooms, from the plumbing to the furniture and everything in between.
Each cabin
Once each cabin was completely outfitted, they were loaded onto semi-trucks and individually transported to the yard. From there, they were carefully lifted by cranes and slotted into position within the Disney Treasure.
Disney Cruise Line guests
The progress photos show how each stateroom features a fresh, natural color scheme and custom artwork. Can you spot which Disney and Pixar films inspired the piece in the pictured room?
The accommodations will soon become a home away from home for future Disney Cruise Line guests when they embark on family adventures later this year.
