The Disney Cruise line has revealed that its biggest ship yet will be setting sail from Singapore in 2025. The Disney Adventure, as the vessel is called, will also be the line’s first ship with a homeport in Asia.
With a capacity for approximately 6,700 guests and 2,500 crew members, Disney Adventure will sail three- and four-night cruises from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre for at least five years as part of a collaboration between Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board. More than just a means of transport, the cruise line promises Disney Adventure will be a destination itself.
The ship will comprise four different areas, themed around principles that create the Disney magic: imagination, discovery, fantasy and adventure. “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”, said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager at the Disney Cruise Line.
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.

The Disney Imagination Garden will be the emotional heart of the Disney Adventure. The garden and open-air performance venue is inspired by 100 years of heroic and heartwarming Disney adventures, from Moana on the high seas to Mowgli in the jungle.
In the spirit of discovery area, while shopping and dining in the aquatic themed Disney Discovery Reef, families will encounter classics such as The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo, as well as the more recent Pixar short animation Luca. Inspired by the eclectic world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Big Hero 6,” San Fransokyo Street will be a family entertainment area, including interactive games and activities, shops and cinemas, while at the Wayfinder Bay poolside retreat, guests will be called by “the line where the sky meets the sea” to an open-air oasis under the sun.
The Town Square, in the realm of fantasy, will be dedicated to Disney royals and filled with shops, lounges, cafés, restaurants and entertainment venues with nods to the likes of Tangled, Cinderella, Frozen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Princess and the Frog.
In the land of adventure, the Marvel Landing will offer attractions and experiences that showcase imaginative representations of Marvel heroes, while the Toy Story Place will have themed food venues and water play areas inspired by the world of Pixar’s Toy Story movies and shorts.
Overall, the cruise line promises a wide array of indoor and outdoor activities onboard, for all ages, with interactive play areas and clubs for children and teenagers, while adults will be able to enjoy some alone time at premium dining venues, lounges and spas. The ship offers a “collection of imaginative restaurants where dinner is more than a meal — it’s a chance to feast on favourite Disney stories through immersive theming and distinctly Disney entertainment”, the cruise line said in a statement, inviting everyone to be their guest.
For accommodation, staterooms will be complete with special Disney touches and family-friendly conveniences, such as the cruise line’s signature split-bath concept, which allows two people to get ready at once. Other exclusive areas and amenities the line promises include a private indoor lounge, an expansive sundeck with a pool and whirlpools, high-end shopping venues and dedicated spa and fitness facilities.
