Disney Cruise Line is to name its newbuild ship Disney Adventure.
The partially completed vessel, formerly known as Global Dream, was acquired by Disney Cruise Line in November 2022 from its previous owner Genting Hong Kong, which filed for bankruptcy in January 2022.
Since then, Disney Cruise Line has been working with Meyer Werft shipbuilding company in Germany to complete the cruise ship ready for its scheduled debut in 2025 from Singapore.
Disney Adventure will have capacity for around 6,000 guests and 2,300 crew members, and its exterior will feature the brand’s Mickey Mouse-inspired colours and signature red funnels. It will also be among the first ships in the cruise industry to be fuelled by green methanol.
Disney Adventure is one of three new vessels set to bring the fleet up to a total of eight ships by the end of 2025. In addition, Disney Treasure will start service in 2024, followed by yet-to-be-named sister ship in 2025, joining current vessels Disney Fantasy, Dream, Wonder, Magic and Wish.
