Disney unveils first new cruise ship in a decade, dips toe into metaverse
Disney is thinking about ways it could harness the power of the metaverse moving forward hijacking kids in their delusional worlds through every new launch.
Bob Chapek, the Chief Executive, introduced Walt Disney Co’s first-ever new 4,000-passenger cruise vessel in about a decade.
It took more than six years to bring the 144,000-ton Wish to the market, Chapek told guests at a christening ceremony that featured fireworks and appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Ant-Man, Chewbacca and other characters from Disney’s vast portfolio.
On the ship, “we combine these amazing characters and stories with incredible technology to create brand new experiences,” Chapek said.
The Wish is the fifth vessel in the growing Disney Cruise Line fleet. Two more ships will be delivered by 2025.
