Disney Wish is the lead ship of the LNG-powered Wish class, delivered by Meyer Werft and entering service in 2022 at about 144,000 gross tons. Fifteen decks tall and carrying roughly 2,500 guests at double occupancy, she is organized around a fairy-tale Grand Hall rather than the atriums of the earlier ships.
Christened on behalf of the Make-A-Wish foundation, she debuted the AquaMouse, billed as the first Disney attraction at sea, along with an Incredibles-themed family arena. Registered in Nassau and based at Port Canaveral, Florida, Disney Wish specializes in three- and four-night sailings to The Bahamas, including the private islands Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
