The ship will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, on January 26 2011 the Disney Dream on her maiden voyage
The final block placed was a 260-ton portion of the ship’s bow, complete with the signature Disney Cruise Line golden filigree.
Disney Cruise Line president Karl Holz said: “With the steel construction process complete, we’re now looking forward to exciting new milestones such as the installation of AquaDuck, the first water coaster at sea.
“Each day, the ship gets closer to its maiden voyage, and it is clear that the Disney Dream is destined to be one of the most spectacular ships afloat.”
The ship will feature a water coaster that will send guests racing above and around the upper decks of the ship.
The Disney Dream will sail alternating three and four-night cruises to the Bahamas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.
During summer 2011, the ship will sail four- and five-night itineraries with two stops at Castaway Cay.
