The Disney Wish bid farewell to the Meyer Werft shipyard on its way to open water for the first time, marking the latest milestone after nearly two years of construction.

The river has been cleared of obstacles and other traffic to make way for the massive new cruise ship.

The conveyance will end when the ship reaches Eemshaven in The Netherlands.

Disney Wish is 1,119 feet long and will begin her sea trials in the North Sea upon completing her journey to Eemshaven. The sea trials are meant to test out the ship's functionality and ensure all systems are working properly.
