DISNEY ADVENTURE float out maneuver

Spectacular float out maneuver: DISNEY ADVENTURE leaves construction dock in Wismar, Germany. An impressive spectacle today in Wismar, Germany: the massive cruise ship DISNEY ADVENTURE left the Meyer Werft construction dock. Numerous spectators and media representatives were present to witness this special event, even though the Old Harbor was closed for safety reasons. The floating out of the 342-meter-long and over 70-meter-high ocean giant began in the morning and lasted just under an hour. Several tugboats pulled the ship inch by inch out of the enormous shipyard hall. The DISNEY ADVENTURE, originally built as GLOBAL DREAM for the Asian Genting Group, changed hands after the insolvency of the MV Werft shipyards and is now being completed for Disney Cruise Line. After six and a half years of construction, the public was able to admire the ship's hull with its signature Disney decorations for the first time today. After floating out the DISNEY ADVENTURE was moored at the outfitting quay. The funnels and even a roller coaster will be installed there in the coming months – features for which there was no room in the shipyard hall. The cruise ship's maiden voyage is scheduled for December from Singapore. It will accommodate up to 6,000 passengers and 2,300 crew members. Until then, the DISNEY ADVENTURE will continue to dominate the Wismar cityscape for some time. The DISNEY ADVENTURE will remain in the port of Wismar until the summer before setting sail for Singapore. Ship enthusiasts therefore still have a few months to admire the impressive cruise giant.
