Disney Treasure celebrates milestone with float out
The Disney Treasure reached a major milestone today, Aug. 3, as it floated out of the Meyer Werft Shipyard construction building and docked into the shipyard’s harbor.
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.
The Disney Treasure is the sixth cruise ship of Disney Cruise Line and will make its maiden voyage on Dec. 21, 2024. It is the second ship of the Wish class.
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.
