DISNEY Cruise Line yesterday announced its new Singapore-based ship will be named Disney Adventure, with the highly anticipated newbuild, formerly under construction as Genting Hong Kong’s Global Dream, set to be the line’s first vessel in South East Asia.
The unfinished ship was initially ordered by the now defunct Dream Cruises, and was acquired last year by Disney from the receivers of the collapsed company (CW 17 Nov 2022).
Disney unveiled the new name on social media, confirming work on the vessel is ongoing.
“It’ll be the first Disney ship to sail from Singapore and throughout South East Asia and feature the Disney service, storytelling, and entertainment everyone knows and loves,” the company said.
Earlier this year Disney inked a major deal with the Singapore Tourism Board which will see Adventure home port in the Lion City for at least five years from 2025 (CW 30 Mar).
Disney hasn’t revealed the configuration of Adventure, but under its previous Dream Cruises design, the ship was expected to have capacity for as many as 9,000 passengers.
Adventure’s new name comes amidst major expansion for Disney Cruise Line, which also has two other vessels under development, and is creating a new Bahamian island destination called Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. BP
