Walt Disney Co. acquired a still-under-construction ship that will be among the largest in the world, in the latest expansion of its cruise line business.

The vessel, formerly known as the Global Dream, will be completed in the former MV Werften shipyard, by the same builder, Meyer Werft, that produced three other Disney ships, the company said in a blog post.
