Ship Preview: Disney Adventure Ship Preview: Disney Adventure

Drawing on over 100 years of storytelling from Disney, Marvel and Pixar, the first Disney Cruise Line ship for guests in Asia, and the largest in the fleet, will be filled with epic experiences, endless adventures and something for everyone to delight in.

Disney Adventure, the largest ship ever built for Disney Cruise Line, promises a new chapter in family cruising, merging the magic of Disney, Marvel, and Pixar with tailored experiences for guests across Asia. From its themed dining and thrilling attractions to luxurious staterooms and spectacular entertainment, the ship is set to offer unforgettable adventures for all ages.

The vessel, which was originally ordered by Dream Cruises as Global Dream but was then sold while still under construction following the collapse of Genting Hong Kong, will sail her maiden voyage out of Singapore on December 15th, 2025. Disney Cruise Line has utilised the extra space available aboard the vessel to fully celebrate its rich legacy of storytelling, bringing to life the worlds and characters at the heart of Disney, Pixar and Marvel.

Disney Adventure will feature many firsts for the fleet, including experiences specially tailored to the Asian market, and a range of major new attractions at sea, the most notable of which is Marvel Landing, an adventure zone on the upper deck with three all-new attractions, including the longest rollercoaster at sea.

The ship will also offer the widest range yet of dining options aboard any Disney ship, comprising not just international favourites but also world-renowned Asian cuisine, while a variety of new Broadway-style productions will be offered, including an all-new musical spectacular,  Remember, developed exclusively for Disney Adventure.

With her seven uniquely themed areas, Disney Adventure will channel the design of mega-ships pioneered by Royal Caribbean with its Oasis class, and later adopted by MSC Cruises with its World class ships, and Carnival Cruise Line with the Excellence class.

The seven zones aboard Disney Adventure will be the Disney Imagination Garden, Toy Story Place, San Fransokyo Street, Town Square, Wayfinder Bay, Disney Discovery Reef, and Marvel Landing. Disney Adventure will debut on December 15th, 2025, sailing primarily 3- and 4-night voyages out of Singapore, with itinerary details and pricing yet to be announced.

Attractions and entertainment aboard Disney Adventure

Disney Cruise Line’s approach to ship design emphasises immersive environments where each space and venue contributes to a cohesive storytelling experience. Aboard Disney Adventure, guests can expect a comprehensive range of entertainment, including character encounters, Broadway-style shows, signature events, first-run films, karaoke, and game shows.

Marvel Landing on the upper deck of Disney Adventure will be home to three all-new attractions and experiences inspired by Marvel.

On Ironcycle Test Run, an 820-foot-long rollercoaster, guests will test-drive Tony Stark’s latest Ironcycle prototype suspended up to 30 feet above the upper decks.

Aboard the Pym Quantum Racers, guests will steer Pym Tech-modified mini-cars on an oversized toy set track, and the Groot Galaxy Spin will take guests on a ride onboard a Nova Corp Bass Jumper, set to upbeat music.

Also on the upper decks, Toy Story Place will contain a water play area inspired by Pixar’s  Toy Story. Designed for families with young children, the area will have water features inspired by the films, including a large family pool, multiple whirlpools, towering water slides and interactive splash pads.

In San Fransokyo Street, guests will find the Big Hero Arcade, a family gaming lounge with the Hiro Training Zone as its centrepiece. This immersive training simulator is an active, full-body experience that will allow groups of four to put their skills to the test as they run, dodge and block their way across a high-tech gaming floor.

Walt Disney Theater will offer two productions:  Remember, a new musical developed exclusively for Disney Adventure, featuring the beloved robot duo from Disney-Pixar’s  Wall-E  and other beloved Disney stars, and a favourite of the fleet,  Disney Seas the Adventure, which will take guests on a musical journey through stories featuring iconic Disney songs and characters.

The Disney Imagination Garden at the heart of the ship will have a state-of-the-art Garden Stage with three-deck-high LED screens in an open-air amphitheatre.

Disney Imagination Garden will be home to several shows starring favourite Disney and Marvel characters, including the high-energy Let’s Set Sail dance party on embarkation day, the hero-villain faceoff Avengers Assemble!, Captain Jack Sparrow & the Siren Queen, and the variety show Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party.

This space will also offer a Baymax Super Exercise Expo, a musical exercise show inspired by the members of Big Hero 6.

Dining aboard Disney Adventure

Like other ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, dining aboard Disney Adventure will provide a chance to experience favourite Disney stories through immersive theming and entertainment.

The ship will offer rotational dining, the cruise line’s signature dining concept in which guests will have three distinct Disney dining experiences during their voyage, with a preset dining schedule included with each booking. The same dedicated service team will be assigned to the guests’ dining party throughout the voyage, ensuring the personal touch for which cruise holidays are renowned.

The rotational dining experience will offer dinner at one of the ship’s two entertainment restaurants, where dinner is served with flair, accompanied by entertainment featuring appearances and interactions with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck.

Entertainment restaurants aboard Disney Adventure
