Disney said it would build another four new cruise ships between 2027 and 2031, joining its current fleet of five and four on order, and bringing its fleet count to 13 ships.

The news came during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase and the company said that the ship names, designs, and itineraries were still in development.

In the meantime, Meyer Werft confirmed on Monday it will build four more ships for Disney Cruise Line after Disney announced the news over the weekend.

The German shipbuilder said the ships would be delivered between 2027 and 2031 but did not elaborate on further details such as ship size and the exact timing of the ship deliveries.

Meyer said in a social media post that it is the highest order value in yard history.

The Disney Magic and Wonder, the line’s two initial newbuilds, joined the fleet in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and were built at Fincantieri in Italy.

Subsequent ships were all built at Meyer Werft in Germany, and the company’s upcoming orderbook is being handled by the German yard.

The line’s most recent new cruise ship, the 2,500-guest Disney Wish, launched service in 2022. The Disney Treasure is next, sailing later this year.
