FAIRY-TALE ENDING FOR SHIP

STUCK in a dockyard on Germany’s Baltic coast for months, a partcompleted mega-liner has been saved from the scrap heap by the American entertainment giant Disney.

The ship, known up until now as the “Global Dream”, was left unfinished when the Asian-owned shipyard it was being built in filed for bankruptcy at the beginning of the year as demand for cruises collapsed as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.

The construction of the ship would “be completed under the management of Meyer Werften”, which built a number of Disney’s fleet of cruise ships. |
