Disney Destiny Touches Water for First Time During “Float Up” Process
Another milestone has been reached in the construction of the newest Disney Cruise Line ship!
Last week, another exciting construction milestone was reached with Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny.
What’s Happening:
- Construction on the Disney Destiny has reached another key milestone at the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany – touching water for the first time!
- The “float up" process begins by filling the building dock with water from the Ems River in order to lift the Disney Destiny from the floor of the chamber.
- The ship was then guided to another position in the hall, where the team will begin testing different systems onboard, including the main engines.
- In the coming months, the shipyard team will continue to focus on building out the legendary interior spaces coming to the Disney Destiny.
- The Disney Destiny will set sail on its maiden voyage from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 20th, 2025.
