Disney Cruise Line Creating Ultimate Vacation Destination Onboard the Disney Adventure, Sailing from Singapore in 2025

 Themed areas inspired by Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories to offer endless adventure on every voyage

Sailing from Singapore in 2025, the one-of-a-kind Disney Adventure will offer families throughout the region the ultimate vacation at sea. The first Disney Cruise Line ship to homeport in Asia will be a destination itself, sailing on three- and four-night voyages designed with magical days at sea and filled with immersive storytelling and captivating entertainment like only Disney can do.

“We’re bringing the magic of Disney Cruise Line to Asia for the first time ever, and we want to give our guests the cruise relaxation and Disney fun they can only experience aboard one of our ships,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. “When they set sail on the Disney Adventure, guests will find incredible, immersive areas that bring the worlds of Disney, Pixar and Marvel to life in ways like never before – and these uniquely Disney experiences will inspire families to reconnect, recharge and make unforgettable memories that they’ll cherish forever.”


New Areas to Discover Aboard the Disney Adventure

The Disney Adventure will be both a journey and a destination, a voyage of limitless possibilities that brings to vibrant life the core pillars of Disney storytelling. Through the magic of imagination, discovery, fantasy and — of course — adventure, guests will embark on voyages to seven uniquely themed areas, each teeming with dozens of incredible characters and unforgettable experiences, without ever leaving the ship.

The power of imagination, which opens doors to new adventures and emboldens dreamers to create magic of their own, will captivate guests from the moment they enter Disney Imagination Garden.

  • Disney Imagination Garden will be the emotional heart of the Disney Adventure, an enchanted valley, charming garden and open-air performance venue all in one. Inspired by 100 years of heroic and heartwarming Disney adventures — from Moana on the high seas to Mowgli in the jungle — this imaginative gathering space will be guests’ gateway to an unforgettable journey all their own.

The spirit of discovery will inspire guests to chase the horizon, to see how far they can go, and to encounter surprising worlds beyond their own in the dynamic realms of Disney Discovery Reef, San Fransokyo Street and Wayfinder Bay.

  • At Disney Discovery Reef, families will shop and dine in an ethereal and ever-changing retreat evoking favorite aquatic characters and nautical stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, including “The Little Mermaid,” “Lilo & Stitch,” “Finding Nemo” and “Luca.”

  • Inspired by the eclectic world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Big Hero 6,” San Fransokyo Street will be a family entertainment area pulsing with the energy and atmosphere of a vibrant street market and boasting an assortment of interactive games and activities, shops, cinemas and more.

  • At Wayfinder Bay, guests will be called by “the line where the sky meets the sea” to an open-air oasis under the sun, where relaxation and exclusive entertainment await. The sophisticated yet casual poolside retreat will reflect the Pacific Islands-inspired artistry of Disney Animation’s “Moana,” offering some of the most stunning views of the sea and sky aboard the Disney Adventure.

The magic of fantasy draws on hopes, dreams and wishes to create whimsical new worlds from many of Disney’s most beloved and timeless stories, with fairytales made real in the enchanting and expansive Town Square.

  • Town Square will be a celebration of Disney royals — a magical land dedicated to those who wish upon a star hoping their dreams will come true. This fantastical forest filled with shops, lounges, cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues will exude the enchanting feeling of summer in full bloom with nods to “Tangled,” “Cinderella,” “Frozen,” “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “The Princess and the Frog,” and more.

The heart of every Disney adventure is the irresistible thrill and joyful delight of boldly embarking on new and exciting experiences, a feeling guests will dare to discover within Marvel Landing and Toy Story Place.

  • At Marvel Landing, heroes will unite in a destination for fans of all ages. As a celebration of Marvel’s larger-than-life personalities, this area will offer Avengers-level adventure, with all-new attractions and experiences that showcase imaginative representations of guests’ favorite Super Heroes.

  • Toy Story Place will inspire guests to explore, create, connect and have fun in a whimsical, interactive play land with themed food venues and water play areas, where the world of Pixar’s “Toy Story” movies and shorts springs to life in surprising and inventive ways.

Where Magic Meets the Sea

The Disney Adventure will offer guests a Disney Cruise Line vacation on a grand scale, including the hallmarks of every Disney cruise – fun and relaxation for everyone onboard, incredible dining, world-class entertainment and exceptional guest service.

Every sailing will include an endless array of indoor and outdoor fun, with exciting attractions, interactive play areas, fun in the sun and special entertainment, plus so much more for families to enjoy together. Young cruisers will have the time of their lives with dedicated spaces and clubs for kids, tweens and teens, while adults relax and unwind with premium dining, lounge and spa experiences.

A highlight of every Disney cruise vacation is the world-class entertainment that brings the ship to life.

Guests will be accompanied by the same dedicated service team throughout the voyage, adding a level of familiarity and attention to their dining experience.

When it’s time to rest, guests will retreat to well-appointed staterooms complete with special Disney touches and family-friendly conveniences, such as Disney Cruise Line’s signature split-bath concept, which allows two people to get ready at once. The Disney Adventure will also feature extensive concierge accommodations, providing ultimate luxury and a heightened level of personalized service and convenience, including access to exclusive areas and amenities such as a private indoor lounge, an expansive sundeck with a pool and whirlpools, high-end shopping venues, and dedicated spa and fitness facilities.

    • See the link for a video of the cruise ship

  • Wismar: Construction of the "Global One" will continue in the short term

  • 380 men and women will soon be working on the "Global One" at the Wismar shipyard. The insolvency administrator has promised.

  • The construction of the cruise ship known as "Global One" will soon continue at the shipyard in Wismar. It is to be resumed on behalf of the owner, the American Disney Cruise Lines, and under the leadership of the Lower Saxony Meyer shipyard, as insolvency administrator Christoph Morgen announced on Friday. The "Global One" is designed as one of the largest cruise liners in the world. The ship was one of the remnants of the MV shipyards that Morgen is taking care of. The MV shipyards filed for bankruptcy in early 2022.

    Minister Meyer: Good signal for the maritime industry

  • According to the information, preparatory work has already been carried out on the ship since the shipyard was sold to the shipbuilder Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS) and leased back to the insolvency administrator. In addition to 100 employees who were still employed by him, Morgen also used 280 employees who are already employed by the subsidiary Meyer-Werft Wismar for this purpose. All 380 should continue to work on the ship. Mecklenburg-West Pomerania's Economics Minister Reinhard Meyer (SPD) was pleased with the progress: "The signing of the contract is a good signal for the maritime industry in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Important, highly qualified jobs will be maintained at the location."

    IG Metall Coast trade union is relieved

  • Heiko Messerschmidt from the IG Metall Coast trade union welcomes the progress: "We are very happy that the colleagues on the ship are apparently starting to work again." The employees who are with the insolvency administrator have also been informed that they are moving to the Meyer shipyard in Wismar. Messerschmidt was relieved that "the ship can then start, with the 'Global One', which is then to be completed for Disney."

    Completion of the ship no later than 2026

  • IG Metall recently made demands on the federal government out of concern for the shipyard location: The new owner TKMS needs security for future orders. However, due to the complicated contract structure between the shipyard owner TKMS, the American shipowner Disney, the insolvency administrator and the shipbuilder Meyer, the completion of construction will probably be delayed until 2025. At the end of March, Disney announced that the finished ship would set sail from its home port of Singapore in 2025. In addition to a crew of 2,300 people, space for around 6,000 guests is expected.

Rumor Mill

  • Due to bankruptcy issues from the company DCL purchased the cruise ship from, thinking 2026 will be the inaugural year

  • The question is with it being delayed now, will DCL move a ship there in the mean time since they were supposed to have this ship sail out of Singapore in 2025

  • Today (3/29/2023) A newly released image of Disney’s 7th cruise ship shows a design change in the luxury liner’s appearance. Previously showing three smokestacks in the concept art, the newest release shows only two. The middle of of the front observation deck now has a larger support. The supports on the sides have also been revised. In place of the middle smokestack is instead a weather and radar vane. On the back, we can also see a new observation device, likely for weather or radar as well.

  • Today (11/16/22), Disney announced the acquisition of that partially completed ship and it will bring the magic of a Disney Cruise Line vacation to new global destinations. Disney will work with the esteemed Meyer Werft shipbuilding company to complete the cruise ship previously known as the Global Dream in Wismar, Germany. The ship will be renamed with certain features reimagined under the world-renowned expertise of Walt Disney Imagineers and is expected to set sail in 2025.

  • The new ship, to be based outside the United States, will feature innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart. The exterior will be adorned in the iconic, Mickey Mouse-inspired colors of the fleet, complete with signature red funnels.

  • The 208,000-gross-ton ship is expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be fueled by green methanol, one of the lowest-emission fuels available. Disney Cruise Line expects the passenger capacity to be approximately 6,000 with around 2,300 crew members.

  • Construction will be completed at the former MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, under the management of Meyer Werft, the Papenburg-based company that built the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish. The ship’s previous owner filed for bankruptcy before completing the vessel, enabling Disney Cruise Line to secure it at a favorable price and within the capital expenditure guidance The Walt Disney Company provided on its recent earnings call. The project also secures employment for hundreds of former MV Werften employees and will provide opportunities for numerous maritime industry suppliers in the region.

  • More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.

  • “Our cruise ships give us the unique opportunity to bring Disney magic to fans no matter where they are, and the addition of this ship will make a Disney Cruise Line vacation accessible to more families than ever before,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

  • When the construction halted at MV Weften at the beginning of 2022, the 208,000 GT Global Dream was three quarters complete. The cruise ship, which measures 342 meters (1,122 feet) in length, beam of 46.4m (152ft 3in), with a 9.5m (31ft 2 in) draft. Originally, the ship was designed to carry 9000 passengers.
