After approximately two years of construction, it’s time for the Disney Destiny to depart from the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. But before heading to its Disney Cruise Line year-round homeport of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the ship must complete its next milestone, known as conveyance – the process of transporting the ship to open water for the first time.
During conveyance, the Disney Destiny will travel around 20 miles down the Ems River through a series of locks and channels to reach the shores of Eemshaven, Netherlands. Over the course of the next few weeks, the ship will undergo a series of tests called sea trials to ensure it is ready to embark on its two-week transatlantic voyage.
