Disney Cruise Line has announced that the Disney Destiny cruise ship has reached a milestone this month during a “float up” procedure. The “float up” is basically when the ship touches water for the first time as the building dock is flooded with water from a nearby river for the first time. Here’s the announcement.
Disney Destiny “Float Up” Milestone
Last week, the Disney Destiny completed another exciting construction milestone at Meyer Werft Shipyard when it touched water for the first time. The process, known as “float up,” began by filling the building dock with water from the Ems River in order to lift the Disney Destiny from the floor of the chamber.
The ship was then guided to another position in the hall, where the team will begin testing different systems onboard, including the main engines. In the coming months, the shipyard team will continue to focus on building out the legendary interior spaces coming to the Disney Destiny.
