Walt Disney Company will build two new ships for Disney Cruise Line with scheduled launch in 2011 and 2012. Details were scant but the ships will be 122,000 tons each and two decks taller than the 83,000-ton Magic and Wonder. Both will have 1250 staterooms.
Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts said, "Disney Cruise Line continually sets sail with the highest load factors in the industry of nearly 150%." The company statement noted strong demand for new itineraries: "Trips to the Mediterranean and to the West Coast have recently set booking records within the company and booked 30%-50% faster than the existing itineraries at higher prices."
The ships will be built at Meyer Werft yard in Germany, which has a strong track record with producing premium-class vessels.
