Disney Adventure cruise ship to set sail from Marina Bay in 2025 on three- and four-night trips
SINGAPORE – Fans of Mickey Mouse rejoice – the Disney Adventure cruise ship will set sail from Marina Bay Cruise Centre from 2025, offering three- and four-night voyages.
The 208,000-gross-ton ship will carry about 6,700 passengers and 2,500 crew members, the Disney Cruise Line announced on June 26.
Guests will be able to experience seven themed areas on the ship, each filled with characters from popular movies and series such as Toy Story, Big Hero 6, Moana, Finding Nemo and Avengers, said the cruise line.
One of the areas, the Disney Imagination Garden – a gathering space described as the “emotional heart” of the Disney Adventure – is inspired by 100 years of “heroic and heart-warming” Disney adventures, it added.
Other themed areas include San Fransokyo Street, inspired by Big Hero 6, where families can play interactive games, shop and watch movies.
The cruise will also offer stage shows with Disney songs and characters, film screenings, karaoke and game shows.
Children and teenagers will have dedicated spaces and clubs, while adults will enjoy premium dining, lounge and spa experiences, said the cruise line.
The ship’s staterooms will be decorated with “special Disney touches”, it added.
While Disney Cruise Line did not reveal how much each guest could expect to pay, it said that more details of the vessel’s maiden voyage and on-board experiences will be announced at a later date.

The cruise ship calling Singapore its home port is part of a five-year collaboration between the Singapore Tourism Board and Disney Cruise Line, and was announced by former Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S. Iswaran in March 2023.
It is expected to be the largest cruise ship calling at Singapore, as well as the largest ship in Disney’s fleet, the then minister had said at the time.
The cruise line currently has five ships in its fleet, covering destinations such as the Caribbean, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. It has three more ships – including Disney Adventure – on the way.
Disney Adventure will be the first among the Disney cruise ships to home-port in Singapore.
“Consumers in this region have shown such strong affinity for Disney, and we are thrilled to bring an unparalleled Disney Cruise Line vacation to their backyard,” said Ms Sarah Fox, Disney Cruise Line’s vice-president and regional general manager of Asia.
She added that “by infusing Disney’s signature service with handpicked experiences unique to Asia”, the cruise will allow guests to “look forward to the magic at sea through personalised touches, a selection of global cuisines and abundant retail offerings carrying a distinct local flavour”.
