The introduction of the Disney Dream came one step closer to being a reality today (June 4th).

Cruise fans accessing Disney Cruise Line's online blog were given a sneak peak at what the luxury liner will look like, as the operator posted exclusive photographs of the last building block being added to the ship.

The Dream will be the third flagship vessel for the operator when it takes to the seas next year.

"With the ships interior still to be built the ship is getting a little bit closer to nearing its first maiden voyage," teased the Disney blog.

"We can't wait to see pictures from the finished ship but for now it's so cool to see how it's all being put together."

According to the operator, the theme is expected to be reminiscent of 20's style glamour and luxury.

The Disney Dream will start its sea-faring life on January 26th 2011, when it will take a number of cruising firsts to the ocean.

Among other debut attractions, will be the world's first ever onboard water-coaster – the AquaDuck.
