Disney Cruise Lines’ newest ship, Disney Fantasy, sailed past the Statue of Liberty last week following a 3800-mile Atlantic crossing fromGermany. The 4000-passenger liner was then christened atNew York’s Manhattan Cruise Terminal on 1 March.
The star-studded event included performances from the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Neil Patrick Harris, Nick Cannon and Heather Headley, while Disney Fantasy’s godmother Mariah Carey took the centre stage. The audience countdown triggered a six-foot bottle of champagne in the Atrium Lobby to erupt and shower onlookers with confetti and streamers, at the same time as the traditional bottle ofChampagnebroke against the ship’s hull.
After its Big Apple celebrations, Disney Fantasy will sail to its new homeportofPort Canaveral,Florida, in preparation for its maiden voyage on 31 March.
