Countdown to the Disney Fantasy – Conveyance

The brand new ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet – the Disney Fantasy – will set sail on her maiden voyage on March 31st. Premier Custom Travel will be onboard to bring you blogs, tweets and photos from this once-in-a-lifetime voyage. In a series of blog posts leading up to the maiden voyage, we’re documenting the ship’s construction and journey to her home base of Port Canaveral. In today’s edition, we feature a video of the ship’s “conveyance.”

The Fantasy departed on January 20, 2012, from her birthplace in Papenburg, Germany during a unique process known as “conveyance.” In a delicate and complex maneuver, the Disney Fantasy was pulled backwards by tugboats from the Meyer Werft shipyard down the winding Ems River to Eemshaven. Members of the community seemed just as proud as they watched and cheered along the ship’s 30-mile journey.

The maiden voyage of the Disney Fantasy is sold out. To book a cabin on any other voyage, please call Premier Custom Travel at (800) 304-6789.
