Disney Cruise Line Christens Newest Ship, Disney Wish, at Port Canaveral
byDaniel McCarthy/An occasion six years in the making, Disney Cruise Line christened its newest ship, Disney Wish, at Port Canaveral on Wednesday morning.
“It is a historic morning,” Disney CEO Bob Chapek told attendees. “This really is a wish come true.”
The ship had beendelayed because of issues at the Meyer Wert shipyard in Germany,但最终在本周首次亮相。
Instead of a traditional godmother, the ship was christened by “godchildren,” three Make-A-Wish children, who represented all past, present, and future Make-A-Wish kids. (Disney has a long-standing relationship with the charity and has granted more than 145,000 wishes to date.)
Chapek called the occasion “a significant milestone during an incredible time of growth for our company.”
迪斯尼的第五艘游轮的首次亮相是迪斯尼邮轮历史上最大的扩张,还有另外两艘船和巴哈马的第二独家目的地,所有这些都计划在未来。
Disney Wish, the first new ship for the company in a decade, also kicks-off a brand new class for the cruise line, Triton-class, its third overall. Two more Triton-class ships are expected.
据查佩克(Chapek)称,这艘船允许迪士尼继续做它最擅长的事情 - 通过标志性角色讲故事并邀请客人参加。
“The ship is purpose-built to inspire a sense of delight and wonder around everyone,” Chapek added.
Disney Wish has 1,254 staterooms, of which 70% have a balcony and 451 offer a connecting door. It debuts with a new cabin category for Disney Cruise Line, seven oceanview rooms located directly above the bridge. Each feature floor-to-ceiling windows for a panoramic view. The ship also has a new Royal Suites category with a Sleeping Beauty theme.
除其他亮点包括水上,水急剧升高,结合动画短片, lighting, and special effects that Chapek called “the first Disney attraction at sea”; six pools, including a Toy Story-themed space for younger kids; the first “Frozen”-themed dining venue featuring characters from the movie; and much more.
