Disney Fantasy Takes To The Water For The First Time

Disney's newest cruise ship, the Disney Fantasy, underwent its float-out for the first time yesterday (Jan 8).

The 2,500-passenger vessel on Sunday was floated out from a dry dock in Germany where it has been under construction for more than a year -- one of the last major milestones before its maiden voyage in March.

A sister to the much-heralded Disney Dream, which debuted last year, the 130,000-ton Disney Fantasy is arriving as Disney gears up for a major expansion that includes its first cruises out of New York, Seattle and Galveston, Texas.
