The Global class is a class of cruise ships constructed by the German shipbuilder MV Werften for Genting Hong Kong. With Genting’s bankruptcy in 2022, the future of the Global class was in doubt. On November 16, 2022, Disney Cruise Line confirmed it acquired the unfinished Global Dream. The second unfinished ship has been scrapped.
