Disney’s Biggest Cruise Ship To Mesmerise Asian Guests With Marvel-Themed Attractions
People can book tickets for a journey onboard Disney’s biggest cruise ship, and the first to be based in Asia from December 10, 2024, a year before its maiden voyage from Singapore. However, cruise royalty members were given early access to the bookings which started earlier this week.
Disney seeks to benefit from the growing cruise tourism in Singapore to cement its place in the Asian cruise tourism market.
The Cruise Ship would be a game-changer and each aspect of it has been crafted carefully and meticulously, per Sarah Fox, Disney Cruise Line’s Regional General Manager for South-East Asia.
Singapore also hopes that this new Disney attraction will attract people from around the world to the country and drive its tourism industry, which greatly suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cruise Ship Disney Adventure will sail from Singapore on December 15, 2025. It can accommodate 6700 passengers and has a gross tonnage of 208,000. It is 44% bigger than Disney Treasure which will begin operations this month in the United States.
Disney Adventure will be homeported in Singapore for 5 years which is expected to attract millions of local and international tourists during that period. Last year, the country welcomed 2 million cruise ship passengers, of which almost half were from other countries.
The popularity of cruise tourism has been soaring in Singapore and traffic to the booking platform’s page rose over 50% when the prices were revealed and names on the waiting list rose 60% in November than October.
Disney plans to increase its reach by spending more on its parks and cruise ships in the coming decade as global tourism is witnessing a rise after COVID-19. It plans to expand its fleet of 5 cruise ships to 13 by 2031.
Disney Adventure was not built by the company, like its other ships and was acquired for 40 million euros from Genting Hong Kong after it filed for bankruptcy in 2022.
It was constructed in Germany and has 7 themed areas based on Marvel, Disney and Pixar movies. The ship features exciting and never-seen-before rides, shops and restaurants.
Though Mickey Mouse remains everyone’s favourite, there is a craze for Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Iron Man in Asia which is why the ship’s upper deck features a Marvel theme with 3 attractions.
There is a 250 m Iron Man-themed rollercoaster, the first on a Disney cruise and the world’s longest on a cruise ship. A stage show with Marvel heroes and villains will also be added.
Dining on the ship will focus on Asian cuisines from Indian to Japanese.
Guests can choose 3 to 5-night trips, that cost from U.S $ 1564 for 2 adults on the maiden journey. A 3-night cruise for a family of 4 in a room with a view of the ocean would cost the U.S $ 3400. There are 2 frozen-themed suites as well.
