Walt Disney Co. is set to debut its first Asia-based cruise ship, the Disney Adventure, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion. Tickets for the maiden voyage, set to depart from Singapore on December 15, 2025, are now available to the public—a full year in advance. Early access was offered to Disney’s cruise loyalty program members, highlighting the excitement surrounding this project.
The Disney Adventure is Disney Cruise Line’s largest ship to date. Here's what makes it stand out:
Size and Capacity: A colossal 208,000 gross tonnage and space for 6,700 passengers.
Home Base: The ship will be based in Singapore for at least five years, aligning with the city-state’s vision of becoming a premier Southeast Asian tourism hub.
This launch comes as Singapore experiences a tourism rebound, welcoming 4.4 million visitors in Q3 of 2024, a 14 per cent increase compared to last year.
The Disney Adventure blends the magic of Disney with Asian-inspired offerings. Key highlights include:
Themed Areas: Seven immersive zones inspired by Disney, Pixar, and Marvel films.
Iron Man Rollercoaster: A 250-meter ride, the longest rollercoaster ever built on a ship.
Dining: Tailored to Asian palates, with options ranging from Indian and Japanese cuisine to bubble tea.
The Disney Adventure offers packages for different budgets and preferences:
Maiden Voyage (3-5 nights): Costs USD 1,564 for two adults.
Family Package: A three-night ocean-view room for four costs around USD 3,400.
Premium Option: Two exclusive frozen-themed suites are available for an unforgettable experience.
The Disney Adventure was acquired at a bargain EUR 40 million after Genting Hong Kong’s bankruptcy in 2022. Originally built in Germany, the ship underwent extensive modifications to align with Disney's world-class standards, offering a cruise experience akin to its theme parks.
