The Disney Treasure celebrated the completion of the ship’s exterior with the traditional “Float Out” ceremony at the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

Disney marked the milestone with an update to the Ship’s Log:

Today at Meyer Werft Shipyard, the Disney Treasure floated out of the building to dock into the shipyard harbor. A scene of excitement greeted the ship, as a group of cheering spectators in Papenburg, Germany, gathered to watch the special construction milestone. The Float Out celebrates the completion of the ship’s exterior and is a significant maritime tradition.

A tugboat led the way, guiding the ship’s stern through the narrow doorway, which allowed for just three feet on either side of the vessel!

The Disney Treasure is now ready for finishing touches to its interior venues as it continues to prepare for its transatlantic journey to its future home port in Florida.

A large cruise ship named "Disney Treasure" is docked, its ship's exterior adorned with vibrant artwork on its stern. In front of it on the water floats a smaller tugboat named "Gruno 2," as if celebrating the grand float out of this magnificent vessel.

The stern of the Disney Treasure fittingly features Captain Hook and Peter Pan.

The float out was also livestreamed by Hamburg Port Live, as seen below. (Right before the 1:32:00 mark, the Treasure plays her horn to the melody of “When You Wish Upon a Star”).
