Disney Cruise Line just dropped another big announcement.
DCL is ordering four more ships, adding to the new ships currently under construction.
It revealed the news at the weekend D23 event, which will more than double the fleet size within seven years.
The next to join the current five-ship fleet is Disney Treasure in December, which has just floated out.
Two more ships – Disney Adventure and Disney Destiny will launch next year.
These latest ships will be delivered from 2027 to 2031.
“The demand on our existing cruise fleet is very, very high, so we know there’s a big opportunity here to invest aggressively,” said Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro.
“We know that when guests get on one of our ships, 40-50% of them are saying the only reason I’m cruising today is because Disney is here, so we’ve essentially created this space.”
The new order will give Disney Cruise Line a fleet of 13 ships.
Next year, the line expands to Southeast Asia with the Disney Adventure homeporting in Singapore.
DCL also inked a partnership with its Tokyo Disneyland operator Oriental Land Co to expand its theme park operations to cruises for the Japan market.
