History
Disney Cruise Line was created in 1995 when the company commissioned its two ships at Fincantieri in Italy, ending the Walt Disney Company's arrangement with Premier Cruise Line for the maritime segment of its vacation packages. Disney had contracted Premier Cruise Line to provide cruise vacations in the 1980s, also sailing from Port Canaveral. The ships were similarly marketed as family vacations and featured costumed Disney Characters.
In 2007, Disney announced the creation of two new cruise ships. Disney Dream set sail in 2011, while Disney Fantasy set sail in March 2012. The ships were built by Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany.
