The Disney Dream is the third ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The ship has 14 towering decks and the capacity to comfortably accommodate 4,000 passengers. The cruise liner was specially designed with families in mind, combining sleek style and convenient facilities with splashes of magic and cruise-industry firsts—like the splashtacular AquaDuck, the very first water coaster at sea. Ahoy, mateys! Subtle nautical motif adorns Disney Cruise Line ships, including traditional maritime symbols and lettering that only the conscientious sailor can spot. For example, on the carpet in the Disney Dream stateroom corridors, a ship’s wheel encompasses a map of the world and nautical flags spell out the name of the ship. Take a look at some additional Disney Dream ship facts.

Fun Facts
- Disney ships are the only cruise ships to have four captains – the ship’s captain, Captain Mickey, Captain Hook, and Captain Jack Sparrow.
- The Sorcerer Mickey Mouse on the Disney Dream’s stern is about 14 feet long. Constructed of stainless steel and fiberglass, it weighs approximately 2,500 pounds. The “ornament” was sculpted at Walt Disney Imagineering in California, structurally designed by engineers at Disney Cruise Line and Meyer Werft in Germany, manufactured in Sarasota, FL, finish-painted in Orlando, and then transported by ship to Germany for final installation on the Disney Dream.
- The Disney Dream’s Art Deco-style chandelier sparkles with thousands of hand-crafted crystal beads and glows with colorful glasswork. Crafted in Brixen, located in Northern Italy, the chandelier is 22 feet in diameter at the ceiling plate and comes down 13 feet from the ceiling. It is 24kt gold plated with a total of 88,680 Swarovski crystal beads ranging in size from 6mm to 12mm.
- Every Disney Cruise Line ship has an atrium lobby statue celebrating a classic Disney character. Admiral Donald is striking a pose on the Disney Dream.
- Guests can celebrate special occasions with a one-of-a-kind toast at nightspots dedicated to “bubbly.” French champagne-maker Taittinger crafted a “pink” just for Pink – Taittinger Prestige Rose is the signature sparkling.
- At 1,115 feet, the Disney Dream is longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (1,063 feet) and longer than the height of New York City’s famous Chrysler Building (1,047 feet).
