The new ships that we can now speak about!

In February 2007, DCL announced the plans for two new ships to add to our fleet. The new build team made the first steel cut in March 2009 at the Meyer Werft shipyards  in P@penburg, Germany for the Dream.  Later that month, the two ships were named. The D1sney Dream is set to sail in 2011. This magical cruise ship will be followed by its sister vessel, the D1sney Fantasy, which is set to sail in 2012.


 
How Big Is The Dream?

All of the specifications of the Dream are already being publicized. It is 1,115 feet long, 125 feet wide at its widest area, which means it is too large to pass through the Panama Canal. The "Dream" has 14 decks, which will include a total of 1,250 staterooms. The vessel has a 128,000 tonnage. This means it can comfortably accommodate 4,000 guests.
It will take more than 1,458 members of the crew to take care of these guests during the cruises.
This magnificent ship is using all up-to-date technology along with a very classic design based on the early part of the 20th century. Sounds like a trip back to the time when cruising was at its best!
