Disney Cruise Line continues to release bits of information on its new ship currently under construction, the Disney Dream.
The ship is Disney’s first new build in over 10 years. At 128,000 tons, the Disney Dream will span 14 decks and carry up to 4,000 passengers in addition to 1,480 cast and crew. In true Disney style, the ship will feature state-of-the-art technology so guests will encounter unexpected magic throughout their cruise.
Virtual portholes: Inside cabins will have a porthole with real-times views of the outside provided by high definition cameras placed on the exterior of the ship. Animates characters will also pop up from time to time.
The AquaDuck will be the cruise industry’s first water coaster. The AquaDuck is an exhilarating high-speed flume ride featuring twists, turns, drops, uphill acceleration and river rapids – all while traversing the upper decks of the ship. At one point, you glide 13 feet over the side of the ship allowing you to look down into the ocean 150 below.
Re-designed restaurant: When travelers enter the Animator’s Palate restaurant, they will find a room decorated like an art studio, with character sketches, colored stencils and paint brushes. As the meal progresses, wall-mounted LCD screens change, transforming the area into what appears as an undersea world. Crush, the lovable turtle from the movie Finding Nemo, will swim around the screens engaging guests in live conversations. While Crush moves around the restaurant, other characters from the movie join him including Dory, Nemo, Squirt and Bruce.
Enchanted Art: Throughout the ship you will find framed LCD screens that come to life as guests walk by. Part of the Enchanted Art experience on the Disney Dream includes an interactive detective game where a special card allows guests to peer behind the virtual canvases to discover clues. You play the game at your own pace to solve the mystery. The game offers six potential villains, and the outcome will be different each time you play.
Disney’s children club will feature an inter-active play floor as well as large screens where popular Disney characters come to life and interactive with the kids.
The Disney Dream will set sail on January 26, 2011. Reservations can be made now. Please call for details.
