Disney Fantasy ship sets sail

A ship called "Disney Fantasy" has launched from a German shipyard. 

The Disney Fantasy, Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, departed on January 20, 2012, from her birthplace in Papenburg, Germany.

The Disney Fantasy was pulled backwards by tugboats from the Meyer Werft shipyard down the winding Ems River to Eemshaven.

The newly-completed 130,000-tonne ship, which is 1,115 feet long and can accomodate 5,450 passengers, cast and crew, was on its way to the North Sea before it sets sail on its first cruise.
