I-Disney Cruise Line iqale ukwakha kwiinqanawa ezimbini ezintsha namhlanje ngomsitho wokusika intsimbi kwindawo yeenqanawa iMeyer Werft ePapenburg, eJamani. Icwangciselwe ukugqitywa ngo-2011 kunye no-2012, iilayini ezintsha zolwandle ziyakuqhubela phambili amava ondwendwe ohlobo olulodwa lwenkampani kwaye zenze iinketho ezininzi zokuhamba ngenqanawa zosapho kunye neendwendwe eziziwayo kwaye ziyayithemba.
“Xa sasisungula ishishini lethu ngo-1998, siye sabona isidingo kwindawo yentengiso yamava okukhenketha okwenzelwe iintsapho kuphela,” utshilo uKarl L. Holz, umongameli weDisney Cruise Line kunye neNew Vacation Operations. “Ngezi nqanawa zintsha, siyaqhubeka nokwakha phezu kwalo mbono wokubonelela iintsapho ezininzi ngeholide engalibalekiyo yokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye nethuba lokuhlola indawo ezintsha ngeDisney.
Isiqwenga sokuqala sentsimbi esisikiweyo kwiinqanawa ezintsha sasiyinxalenye ye-art deco ephefumlelweyo yokuskrola eya kuhombisa isaphetha seenqanawa. Ngokufana nokuskrola kwiinqanawa zeDisney Cruise Line, iDisney Magic kunye neDisney Wonder, ipateni entsonkothileyo ikhumbuza iilayini zolwandle zakudala zee-1930s, eziyilelwe ukubonisa ubukhazikhazi bexesha legolide lokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye nokuchukumisa okongeziweyo kweDisney whimsy, enjalo. njengembasa yeMickey Mouse embindini woyilo.
Ukusukela ekugqityweni kwesivumelwano kunye neMeyer Werft shipyard yokwakha iinqanawa ezimbini ezintsha, iDisney Cruise Line kunye neWalt Disney Imagineering zenze uyilo olwahlukileyo lokwenene lweenqanawa ezintsha. Kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo, ulwakhiwo luya kuqhubeka, nto leyo eyenza ukuba uyilo lube yinyaniso. Iinkcukacha zoyilo ziya kutyhilwa kamva.
UHolz uphawule ukuba ukwandiswa kweenqanawa kuya kuphinda kabini umthamo wabakhweli beDisney Cruise Line. Inqanawa nganye iya kuba ne-1,250 staterooms kwaye iya kuba nobunzima be-128,000 yeetoni. Ngokufana neenqanawa ezikhoyo, i-Disney Magic kunye ne-Disney Wonder, iinqanawa ezintsha ziya kuba yinjongo eyakhiwe ngeentsapho engqondweni, kunye neendawo ezilungiselelwe ngokukodwa kunye nemisebenzi yelungu ngalinye losapho ukuvumela zombini ixesha elisemgangathweni kunye namava amnandi ngabanye. Ingqwalasela kukubonelela ngesetingi apho iintsapho zinokuphinda ziqhagamshele, abantu abadala banokuphinda batshaje kwaye abantwana banokuzintywilisela kwihlabathi leengcamango ezinokwenziwa nguDisney kuphela.
