Disney Dream is a cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. She is the third ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the lead vessel of the Dream class. The ship was followed by her sister ship, Disney Fantasy (2012).

The Dream class was ordered on February 22, 2007, and built by Meyer Werft at its shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Construction of the vessel began with the keel laying on August 26, 2009, and the ship was launched on October 30, 2010. She was completed on December 8, 2010, christened on January 19, 2011, and entered service with her maiden voyage on January 26, 2011. The ship reportedly cost approximately US$900 million (equivalent to $1.329 billion in 2025).

The Dream class marked a significant increase in size over Disney Cruise Line's preceding Magic class. Dream-class ships have a gross tonnage of approximately 130,000, compared with about 84,000 for the Magic class, which had been introduced 12 years earlier.
