The fifth ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet will be called Disney Wish, the line has announced.

Scheduled for delivery in late 2021 and sailing in 2022, the ship’s stern will also feature Rapunzel, who, according to the company, “embodies the wish and desire to see and experience the world”.

Disney Wish will be followed by two more new builds, to be delivered in 2022 and 2023.

The three ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas and feature 1,250 guest staterooms, meaning they are slightly larger than Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Bob Chapek said: “There couldn’t be a better name for our incredible new ship because making wishes come true is part of the Disney DNA and is at the heart of so many of our cherished stories.

“Each Disney Cruise Line ship is unique, with a name that embodies the excitement of sailing with Disney and the power of our stories. The new ships will have the experiences our guests love, as well as all-new magic.”

Disney has also revealed new information and two early conceptual artist renderings for its second island destination in the Bahamas, which is located on the island of Eleuthera at a place called Lighthouse Point.

“With three new ships joining our fleet, we thought this would be an incredible opportunity to add another unique destination to our ports of call. We looked all over the Bahamas and Caribbean for an ideal location that would enable us to create new experiences, while celebrating the culture of this amazing region,” Chapek added.

Construction on the island could begin in 2020, with completion in late 2022 or 2023.
