The Disney Treasure celebrated another construction milestone today when it floated out of the building dock at the Meyer Werft Shipyard, into the harbor.


The Float Out is a maritime tradition that signifies the completion of the ship's exterior.

Announced in 2022 and the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, The Disney Treasure, is set to make its maiden voyage on December 21, 2024, from Port Canaveral, Florida. The ship will offer seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.

Definitely a case of different strokes for different folks.

Gees its like 30 minutes of music. shows dont get any shorter than that. And loud? Live music is always loud. Thats kind of the point. Its art for the ears. sounds like you just didnt want music at dinner as those complaints apply to all musical dinner shows that are good. Tianas is bad because it only has two actual songs that deserve your attention and the rest is boring background tunes that everyone talks over while they eat and ignores. I can get restaurants like that on land (and with much better food). What i cant get is restaurants like Arrendelle. Its the high quality loud music that deserves your full attention that makes it special so the bad food doesnt matter. clearly some people dont appreciate amazing music when their stomachs are empty.

I'm with you @Disone I was not a fan of Frozen. I thought it was too loud and went on way too long. Tiana's is my favourite followed by Rapunzel's. I don't plan on going back on the Wish but if I did it would be my 'skip' dinner to go to Palo. I preferred Marvel to Frozen which surprised me.

I guess everyone's different. I've heard elsa sing let it go a thousand times including on disney cruises. I thought the way oaken and kristoff sung it was brilliant. The violinists were amazing. The other songs were fantastic too. I really would like digital versions of those songs. Not only is it the best musical dinner show on disney cruises I think it's the best musical dinner show I've seen anywhere. The mechanical olaf was great too. I was disappointed by tianas. Only a couple of songs and I thought they were quite poorly done. Getting everyone up at the end was fantastic but it only last 5 minutes and everything before that was poor in my view.

See now I was a bit underwhelmed by the frozen dinner show. Could not figure out why someone else was singing let It Go when Elsa was literally in the room?!?!!? I definitely find animator's palette on the magic and the Wonder to be superior. But this doesn't really compare to that it compares more to Tiana's and Rapunzel's on the magic and wonder. And that regarded is comparable my favorite is definitely still Tiana's on the wonder.

The frozen dinner meal is the best restaurant show on any disney ship. The theming and quality of the music is simply stunning. Not to be missed. It is disney magic. I think it's even better then animators plate.

I agree. Treasure looks like a good overall package and the closest to the 'classic' ships as opposed to the Wish being too Princess and Destiny being too Marvel.

Disney treasure looks like it will become the best ship of the new ones theming appeals more than what we are seeing with the Destiny.

Here are more details and a new rendering for Disney The Tale of Moana: “Disney The Tale of Moana” will bring unforgettable coming-of-age adventures from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film to live audiences for the first time onboard the Disney Treasure. With the show debuting later this year, Disney Cruise Line has shared a first look at one of the key climactic moments from the production. The scene depicts Moana as she takes her final stand against Te Kā, the fiery lava-wielding foe who will appear on stage as an incredible fifteen-foot-tall puppet, the largest puppet ever produced for a Disney Cruise Line Broadway-style show. “Disney The Tale of Moana” will also portray Moana’s courageous determination to restore the heart of Te Fiti and the resulting transformation of the Te Kā puppet into her true self, a stunning green goddess. Audiences will see many of their favorite characters from the film reimagined as puppets, including a young version of Moana. The captivating array of puppetry is being developed for the show by Je] Conover, creative director of puppetry and articulation for Disney Live Entertainment, and Michael Curry, whose previous credits include “The Lion King” on Broadway.

Cast member costumes never get enough love! I’m really digging the prim 1910s silhouettes in the Haunted Mansion Parlor outfits and the double-breasted vest detail on the Periscope Pub outfits! Very thematically appropriate based on what we’ve been shown so far.

New update on the Disney Treasure: Peter Pan and Captain Hook have finally made their way onto the Disney Treasure! A year ago, the ship’s log revealed the first artist rendering of the Disney Treasure’s stern. All these months later, the team at Meyer Werft Shipyard is celebrating the installment of the character sculptures. Before making their way to Papenburg, Germany, the sculptures were built in California. To give an idea of the scale of these characters, Peter Pan is over 9 feet tall and wears a size 36.5 shoe! Both figures were carefully lifted by the shipyard team with cranes and securely bolted to the ship’s stern. Captain Hook and Peter Pan complement the Disney Treasure’s theme of adventure and add a touch of Disney magic to the classically designed exterior of the ship.
