Disney Cruise Line will open Disney Adventure for bookings on December 10, 2024, with the maiden voyage set for December 15, 2025. These voyages will be three- and four-night cruises to nowhere, allowing guests to make full use of facilities and entertainment onboard.
While further details on sailing dates and pricing will be released on November 14, Sarah Fox, vice-president and regional general manager for South-east Asia, Disney Cruise Line, shared in a grand reveal event this afternoon that the “ship itself is the destination” and “there is more than enough content on this amazing ship” to encourage guests to combine three- and four-night voyages into a single, bigger adventure.
The grand reveal event took guests through the seven themed areas planned for Disney Adventure: Disney Imagination Garden, Toy Story Place, San Fransokyo Street, Town Square, Wayfinder Bay, Disney Discovery Reef, and Marvel Landing.
In a first for Disney Cruise Line, Disney Adventure alone will house three all-new attractions on the upper decks in an adventure zone that celebrates the larger-than-life personalities from the Marvel Universe. One of the attractions will be Ironcycle Test Run – the longest rollercoaster at sea at 250m long.
There will also be “dazzling stage shows” across multiple venues on Disney Adventure, such as the Disney Imagination Stage, where the Avengers Assemble live entertainment show will play out with stunts and special effects. There will also be a show centred around Moana, and another around Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as an all-new musical spectacular, Remember, developed exclusively for the ship.
“This ship is absolutely brimming with entertainment at every turn, from bow to stern,” said Jenny Weinbloom, vice president live entertainment, Disney Signature Experiences. “Everywhere you look, there will be chances to meet and play with our characters; to hear live music, watch a performance, (or go for) karaoke, game shows and first-run films.”
More light was also shed on accommodation options. Disney magic will be infused into every stateroom – from the lead-in cabins up to the Royal Suites – with striking artwork that celebrates the spirit of Disney, Pixar, or Marvel stories. All rooms will boast complimentary 24-hour room service.
Although the ship will hold approximately 6,700 passengers, Disney Cruise Line has yet to announce the number of staterooms available.
Meanwhile, international flavours can be found onboard, with dishes inspired from the region. There will even be a bubble tea café. Disney Adventure will also offer rotational dining, Disney Cruise Line’s signature dining concept where guests will enjoy three distinctly Disney dining experiences during their voyage, with a preset dining schedule included with each booking.
Overall, Fox anticipates a positive reception for Disney Adventure in Asia-Pacific, and expects “fluctuating seasonal factors in different countries to influence demand throughout the year”.
When asked how Disney Cruise Line will support travel agents, Fox told TTG Asia that its sales team has been “actively engaged with the community, and really trying to understand what creative materials they need”.
“We look forward to a really robust relationship with them,” she remarked.
