About Disney Dream
Disney Dream is the lead ship of the Dream class, built by Meyer Werft in Germany and in service since January 2011. At about 130,000 gross tons with 1,250 staterooms, she is roughly 40 percent larger than the Magic-class pair. Her AquaDuck water coaster runs through the forward funnel and briefly out over the side of the ship, and inside cabins have 'virtual portholes' that show the view outside, with the occasional animated character. Dinner rotates through Enchanted Garden, Royal Palace and Animator's Palate. Long associated with three- and four-night Bahamas runs, she sails mainly from Fort Lauderdale in the 2026-27 season, with some San Juan departures, and returns to Port Canaveral for summer 2027.
