The Disney Believe's unfinished funnel now towers inside Meyer Werft's Papenburg shipyard, with its raised Disney Cruise Line emblem already attached.
Disney Signature Experiences President Natacha Rafalski shared two photos after touring the build with Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams. One shows the group beneath the funnel's raised Disney Cruise Line emblem, already welded into the primer-coated steel.
The stamped pieces carry the ship's 723 yard number. Meyer Werft lists the Disney Believe as a 140,000-gross-ton vessel with room for up to 4,000 passengers.
The Disney Believe will be the fourth Wish-class ship, following the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny. Its theme centers on promise and possibilities, with stories from Encanto, Frozen, Snow White, Moana and The Little Mermaid planned for the ship.
The Disney Believe is scheduled to debut in late 2027. Disney plans to share more onboard details in the coming months.
