How big is it, really?

The 747-8 held the longest-airliner record for over a decade, until Boeing's 777-9 took it by about 19 inches (76.72 m) — our sibling site aircraft.fyi measures everything that flies the same way.

One Disney Fantasy = 1.26 Titanics · 3.2 football pitches · 14 blue whales · 4.5 Boeing 747-8s laid end to end.

The story

What makes it different

Disney Fantasy is the second of the Dream-class pair and the ship that finished Disney's move into large-ship cruising. Her Art Nouveau interiors are the counterpart to Disney Dream's Art Deco — the two ships are structurally identical and deliberately styled as a matched but distinguishable pair.

Both carry the AquaDuck, a 765-foot clear-tube water coaster that loops out over the side of the ship and back — the first water coaster fitted to a ship, and the feature that made the class recognisable from a distance.

The Dream class was Disney's answer to a specific problem: two ships from 1998 and 1999 could not meet demand, and the line had gone thirteen years without adding a hull. Fantasy and her sister roughly doubled Disney's capacity in two years.
