The Disney Adventure will homeport in Asia, allowing it to be the first ship of Disney Cruise Line to do so. Over the course of the next five years, the ship will provide three- and four-night cruises exclusively featuring days at sea, making it both a voyage and a destination in its own right. This approach allows families to immerse themselves in an entirely onboard experience, focusing on the magical innovations Disney is bringing to the cruise industry.
A New Era for Disney Cruise Line
The Disney Adventure sets a new standard for Disney Cruise Line, enabling the Imagineers to think bigger than ever before. With a gross tonnage of 208,000, the ship offers ample space for an array of immersive experiences that pay homage to fan-favorite Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.
Passengers will be welcomed into seven uniquely-themed areas aboard the Disney Adventure, each designed to offer completely immersive experiences. The themed areas include the Disney Imagination Garden, Disney Discovery Reef, San Fransokyo Street, Wayfinder Bay, Town Square, Marvel Landing, and Toy Story Place, creating a diverse range of activities for families to enjoy.
The Fairytale Feature: Disney’s First Castle at Sea
One of the standout features of the Disney Adventure will be the Disney Imagination Garden, which serves as the grand heart of the ship. This enchanting space will be set beneath Disney Cruise Line's first-ever castle at sea, a stunning three-deck-tall structure that features a decorative waterfall and courtyard for guests to explore.
The castle's design is a tribute to various iconic castles from Disney's beloved filmography. Guests can expect to find visual references to well-known castles, including those from Walt Disney Pictures, Disneyland Paris, and even Rapunzel's castle.
Immersive Experiences in Disney Imagination Garden
Strolling through the garden promenade of Disney Imagination Garden will be an experience in itself, showcasing landscapes inspired by paper cut-outs. Guests will encounter numerous characters, iconography, and Easter eggs drawn from various Disney, Pixar, and Marvel narratives.
The ship will introduce a new category of accommodation: garden-view staterooms. Guests staying in these rooms will have the opportunity to enjoy views of the Disney Imagination Garden right from their own verandah.
A Stage for Entertainment
At the opposite end of the open-air Disney Imagination Garden, guests will find a theatrical garden stage equipped with LED screens spanning three decks. The lineup of live entertainment will include exciting performances, such as the debut of the “Avengers Assemble!” stage show, featuring the distinct addition of Deadpool to the Disney Cruise Line lineup.
For guests seeking a unique viewing experience, an adjacent lawn area in front of the stage will serve as an amphitheater for shows, encouraging a more interactive and engaging environment.
Culinary Adventures on Board
Foodies will also find delight in the culinary options available on the Disney Adventure. The Disney Imagination Garden will host two quick-service dining options—Mowgli’s Eatery and Gramma Tala’s Kitchen—each offering diverse cuisines inspired by Disney classics.
Mowgli’s Eatery, taking inspiration from "The Jungle Book," will feature Indian cuisine, while Gramma Tala’s Kitchen will celebrate island flavors through offerings inspired by "Moana" and the vibrant culinary traditions of the Pacific Islands.
