What Disney Cruise Line’s New Ships Will Look Like

1511

Disney Cruise Line’s cruise ships are some of the most family friendly ones around. They cater to those with with children from teeny tiny infants all the way up to teenagers. Each ship offers experiences that can’t be matched by other cruise lines. Passengers will have even more vessels to choose from in the next several years as there will be new cruise ships hitting the waters in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Recently a bit of information was revealed about these new ships. While there still are many things that are still being decided on (or kept secret), like the names, itineraries and design plans, here’s what we do know about Disney Cruises new ships.

Even More Innovation
Disney is being pretty tight lipped about the newest innovations that will be on each of these new ships. However, there are supposed to be a lot of interactive moments and guests will be able to have a truly heightened technological experience. This may include things like key cards with Radio Frequency IDentifier chips like on their other ships. They can not only let guests in their rooms, but turn on the air conditioning and lights. The goal with all of the newest innovations that are expected is for guests to be able to have as enjoyable of an experience as possible. It really is amazing how far Disney Cruise Line has come since they debuted their very first ship back in 1998!

New Experiences For Everyone
Each ship will have more Disney characters onboard than ever before. They will perform, have meet and greets with guests and plenty of opportunities to take pictures with them. Iconic stories will come to life in a more creative way than what’s currently on their current cruise ships. Guests will also have even more options when it comes to dining and live entertainment. These new options will give parents the ability to find something for their child to enjoy no matter what their age is.  Rumor has it that there will be a focus on older children ages 16 to 18 – with more activities for this age range so this demographic will still be interested in a Disney cruise.

Each of these new ships are expected to be around 140,0000 tons. This means that they will be larger than both the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy. They will have 1,250 staterooms so they will be able to hold a lot of passengers. Each ship will also use liquified natural gas, known a LNG. This means that they will be powered by one of the world’s cleanest burning fuels.

Of course 2021 is a few years away, so you can still enjoy Disney’s current ships at great pricing. Check out the Disney Dream itinerary for popular 3 and 4 night Bahama cruises out of Port Canaveral, or Disney Fantasy prices for 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.
