Disney Announces Expansion of Successful Cruise Business
Two New Ships will More than Double Passenger Capacity


The Walt Disney Company plans to expand its successful cruise business by adding two new ocean liners, President and CEO Bob Iger announced today. Scheduled to launch in 2011 and 2012, the ships will more than double the passenger capacity for Disney Cruise Line® to meet the sustained demand for Disney's family cruise vacations.

The new 122,000-ton cruise liners will be two decks taller than the existing 83,000-ton ships, the Disney Magic® and the Disney Wonder®. Each ship will have 1,250 staterooms. Specific design plans and itineraries for the yet-unnamed ships are still in development and will be unveiled at a later date.

What else that was interesting was that the ships are to be built by a different shipyard - Meyer Werft in Germany.

Looks like the Italian sisters will have a couple of German cousins!

I like this because it will mean other "options" than taking the Magic away from a Caribbean cruise. Oooh, perhaps an Alaskan cruise, or Hawaiian Islands. I vote for these two!

Actually its not that surprising that Disney would go with a different shipyard since the demand for new ships is pretty high making it tough to find an available yard. Disney probably went with the first available yard that fit their schedule and needs.
