Disney Cruise Line to Sail Southeast Asia Starting in 2025

by Holly Ramey · March 29, 2023

Disney Cruise Line surprised us all when they confirmed the purchase of Dream Cruises’ Global Dream cruise ship late last year. The Global Dream was already being built for the Asian cruise line, Dream Cruises, when the company went bankrupt and was forced the sail the vessel that was nearing completion.

When the announcement was made that Disney Cruise Line be taking over the completion of the Global Dream, it was thought that the oceanliner would sail Southeast Asia as it was originally designed to do by Dream Cruises. Today, we can confirm the that yet-to-be-named ship by Disney Cruise Line will indeed start sailing from Singapore for cruises around Southeast Asia starting in 2025!

Per an agreement with the Singapore Tourism Board, the new Disney Cruise Line vessel will sail from Singapore for at least five years. More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries, and ports of call will be made at a later date.

Billed as the “World’s Largest Cruise Ship” when being built by Dream Cruises, Disney Cruise Line has said that once complete, the ship will welcome a whopping 6,000 guests as well as an additional 2,300 as crew making it the largest ship in the fleet by far.

“This is a very exciting year for The Walt Disney Company — 2023 marks our 100th anniversary,” D’Amaro said. “As part of this, Disney Cruise Line is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion with new ships and new destinations around the world. We are incredibly excited to make Singapore the home port to our seventh-launched ship, which will sail from here year-round starting in 2025.”

While there is still so much unknown about this new Disney Cruise Line cruise ship that will sail Southeast Asia, Disney Cruise Line did have this to say:

The new ship will feature innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart. Guests of all ages will find dedicated spaces and activities designed just for them, and families will create unforgettable memories with beloved characters such as Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse, Disney Princesses, Marvel Super Heroes and more.

New Disney cruise ship to set sail from Singapore from 2025

SINGAPORE - From 2025, a new cruise ship featuring Disney princesses and Marvel superheroes will call Singapore home, as part of a five-year collaboration between the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Disney Cruise Line.

The 208,000-gross-tonne vessel is expected to be the largest cruise ship calling here, as well as the largest ship in Disney’s fleet, said Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S. Iswaran, who announced the collaboration on Wednesday.

Mr Josh D’Amaro, the chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said: “We are incredibly excited to make Singapore the home port to our seventh-launched ship, which will sail from here year-round starting in 2025.”

The ship, which is yet to be named, is estimated to be able to carry 6,000 passengers and 2,300 crew members.

When launched, it is expected to feature attractions such as themed restaurants and interactive theatre shows.

It has the potential to add “millions of local and foreign cruise passengers” over the five-year period, including fly-cruise passengers arriving in Singapore by air, Disney and STB said in a media release.

As part of sustainability efforts, the vessel will run on green methanol, a low-emission fuel.

More details regarding the vessel’s maiden voyage and itineraries will be released at a later date.

The ship is expected to call at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre, which is one of Asia’s largest cruise terminals.

A subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line currently operates fives ships to destinations including the Caribbean, Europe and Australia, with three more ships planned.

Disney Signature Experiences president Thomas Mazloum said the ship was acquired partially completed in 2022 from Dream Cruises, a brand under Genting Hong Kong, which was liquidated in October.

Construction will be completed at the MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, under Meyer Werft, which also built three other Disney cruise ships.

At a news conference at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Mr Iswaran said Disney’s decision to base its first ship in South-east Asia here “speaks volumes of our region’s significant potential for cruise tourism”.

Singapore can serve as a gateway to the rest of South-east Asia, he said, noting that the region has been described as the “Caribbean of the East”.

Singapore’s cruise industry is recovering after Covid-19. In 2022, 1.2 million passengers passed through Singapore’s ports.

That was about two-thirds of the numbers seen in 2019, when there were about 1.8 million cruise passengers, Mr Iswaran noted.

That year, the industry contributed $630 million to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), $350 million of which was spent by cruise lines on repairs, bunkering and other port-related services, said Mr Iswaran, who is also Transport Minister.

In 2022, STB said it expected Singapore’s cruise industry to return to pre-pandemic levels between 2023 and 2024.

While Disney and STB had been in talks for many years on possible collaborations, discussions to bring Disney Cruise Line to Singapore kicked into high gear in 2022, said STB chief executive Keith Tan.

The partnership with Disney Cruise Line is expected to provide a sizeable boost to the cruise sector’s contribution to tourism receipts and the country’s GDP, he said, without providing a figure.

In 2017, STB signed a three-year partnership with The Walt Disney Company South-east Asia to bring themed events and activities here.

Disney Cruise Line Expanding to Southeast Asia & Basing New 7th Ship in Singapore

Disney Cruise Line announced a new ship coming to Southeast Asia for the first time, with the 7th addition to the DCL fleet being based out of a home port in Singapore starting in 2025. This post shares the announcement from the company, plus our commentary about this ship, whether it’ll have a casino, and more!

This seventh ship in the DCL fleet was revealed by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro and Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, S. Iswaran. The new ship is presently unnamed, and will join the existing 5 ships plus the Disney Treasure after that sets sail starting in 2024.

Under a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding, Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board agreed to collaborate to homeport a brand-new Disney cruise ship exclusively in Singapore for at least five years beginning in 2025. More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.

“We look forward to welcoming the magic of Disney Cruise Line to Singapore in 2025,” said Keith Tan, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board (STB). “This is an important milestone for STB and reflects Disney Cruise Line’s strong confidence in Singapore and Southeast Asia. The new Disney cruise ship will be an attraction itself and is expected to boost the tourism sector in Singapore for many years to come.”

Singapore’s strategic location, world-class air connectivity, and port infrastructure make it a thriving cruise hub in Southeast Asia, a diverse region that is home to over 40 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The addition of a Disney Cruise Line ship in Singapore has the potential to add millions of local and foreign cruise passengers across the five-year period, including fly-cruise passengers who arrive in Singapore by air. It is also expected to bring about significant spillover benefits for the wider economy. These include greater demand for port and ship-related services, as well as on-ground spending in Singapore for the lifestyle and hospitality sectors.

The new ship will feature innovative Disney Cruise Line experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, and legendary guest service that set DCL apart from the competition. Guests of all ages will find dedicated spaces and activities designed just for them, and families will create unforgettable memories with beloved characters such as Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse, Disney Princesses, Marvel Super Heroes and more.

Disney Cruise Line estimates the passenger capacity of the 208,000-gross-ton ship to be approximately 6,000 with around 2,300 crew members. It is expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be fueled by green methanol, one of the lowest emission fuels available.

Construction is projected to be completed at the MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, under the management of Meyer Werft, the Papenburg-based company that built the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish and is constructing two additional Wish-class ships.

In terms of commentary, we’ll start by addressing the obvious but unstated: this is the former Global Dream ship.

Back when Disney announced that it had acquired this partially-finished ship, the press release stated that Disney Cruise Line was able “to secure [Global Dream] at a favorable price and within the capital expenditure guidance the Walt Disney Company provided on its recent earnings call.” At the time, we thought that was noteworthy because that’s not the type of language that would usually be included in Disney’s sometimes-overly-flowery press releases.

Well, we learned why a few weeks later. According to reporting at the time that was later confirmed by regulatory filings, the Walt Disney Company about $40 million for the Global Dream, which is especially staggering given that the $2 billion ship was approximately 75% complete when Disney acquired it.

The Global Dream’s previous owner filed for bankruptcy before completing the vessel, and Disney was rumored to be the only interested buyer after negotiations with two other parties failed. This gave Disney complete leverage, with the insolvency manager’s choices being Disney or selling the ship for scrap metal. There was reportedly resistance to the latter route, as it hurt morale at the shipyard.

Disney Cruise Line thus acquired the ship for a tiny fraction of its original price tag and even value as partially-built. However, that came with the asterisk that Disney would take over without warranty claims and would need to spend considerably sums modifying and “reimagining” significant aspects of the ship with the expertise of Walt Disney Imagineering. Reported estimates put Disney Cruise Line’s costs with the ship as nearly $1 billion to finish and redesign the Global Dream to turn it into a Disney Cruise Line vessel.

Still, this has gotta be categorized as a rare Chapek win. At the time of the announcement, this seemed completely out of left field, and impulsive, very much inconsistent with Disney’s normal methodical and risk-averse way of doing business.

We openly wondered whether Disney Cruise Line was betting too boldly on the future of cruising, especially with multiple ships already under construction. Even with this sailing exclusively in Asia and have little-to-no overlap with the current DCL ships, it felt like a big leap. (Especially since it stood to reason that one of the existing ships would be relocated to Asia once the Wish-class is completed.)

Upon learning the price that Disney Cruise Line had paid, it all made complete sense. It was too good of a deal to pass up, with minimal downside risk and a significantly lower total cost even after retrofits and finishing than Disney Cruise Line would pay to build a comparably-sized ship from the ground up.

The rumored price (and subsequent confirmation) came right as Chapek was being shown the door at Disney, but he and D’Amaro definitely deserve kudos for pulling off this deal. Like me at the Disney Character Warehouse Outlet looking at 90% off prices, it was a “buy now, figure out the purpose later” kinda scenario.

Beyond that, I’ll be curious to see what’s cut and what’s kept. The Asian market is very different from the domestic one, both with cruising preferences and knowledge or expectations of the Disney brand. Most interesting to us is that the Global Dream was designed by its original owners to have considerable casino space.

That’s not really unique to the Asian cruising market, although it does seem more pronounced there. Obviously, Disney has resisted the temptation to add gambling to its fleet; the company as a whole has been willing to leave money on the table by avoiding sports betting, despite flirting with the idea repeatedly under Chapek.

Casinos are incredibly lucrative for cruise ships. By not having them, Disney Cruise Line has taken the financial hit to avoid taking the reputational one. Even in the United States, the tides are turning on that in terms of consumer expectations and preferences. And fast!

I remember a time when sports betting was verboten, and in just a few short years, it became totally normalized and actively promoted by the networks and leagues. ESPN eventually embracing the same seems inevitable–the bigger question is who will own the brand when that happens?

Maybe Global Dream will be the Walt Disney Company’s first foray into gambling on a large scale. Given that the space is already there, the Asian market has different expectations and brand-knowledge of Disney, and that this ship will fly under the radar of most American audiences, it seems to me more likely than not that the reimagined and renamed Global Dream will have casino space.

It really comes down to how strongly Bob Iger feels about Disney’s association with gambling, the financial upside to including casinos, and whether it’ll hurt the brand. Personally, I’d bet on it happening… and I don’t even gamble!

Ultimately, I’m really intrigued by all of this. Singapore has been on our travel bucket list for years as the next new-to-us place we want to visit in Asia. It was never previously on our radar as a cruise destination–more a stopover for a few days en route to or returning from Japan–but plans can change. Between my desire to visit Singapore and Sarah’s love for Disney Cruise Line, we’ll definitely be checking this out in 2025.

I also have a tremendous amount of curiosity about how this ship will be reimagined from the Global Dream, and specifically designed to appeal to the Asian market. That’s one of the things that I found most interesting about Shanghai Disneyland, which is Disney’s first truly targeted park in Asia. (As much as we love them, the parks in Tokyo and Hong Kong are largely Americanized.)

Even though I don’t gamble, I don’t really care one way or the other whether the ship has a casino. (It’s not a moral aversion, more recognition that the house always wins. We’ve visited Las Vegas, Macau, and Monaco–I love the energy around casinos, just not the “losing money” part.) It’ll be fascinating to hear the thought process behind that decision one way or the other, see what else is built and left out, and so much more.

Shanghai Disneyland is simultaneously similar to but very different from the other castle parks, and I’m expecting the same familiar-but-unique vibes from Disney Cruise Line’s seventh ship. As much as I’m looking forward to the Disney Treasure, I’m really looking forward to this!

With a Disney Cruise planned for Singapore, and various Disney events and exhibits held here, I guess they are testing the market to see if a Disneyland can be built in Singapore, whether the southern coast or islands, or the land stretch in Yio Chu Kang. Hope the magic come here and allow many South Asians and Australasians to come visit. What new attractions could be thought of? Maybe Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Muppet, Fox, Star Wars characters and scenes … classic ones as well as those not seen before. The other nature parks such as Mandai and Gardens by the Bay can be a great link. Universal Studios Singapore would complement and attract tourists there rather than compete. What do you think?

This is really exciting! I’ve only been to Singapore once, back in the 90’s, but absolutely loved it. And I’m very keen to get back to that part of the world. It will definitely be interesting to see how this ship compares to the ones built fresh by Disney. I’m 100% going to try it as soon as possible!

Singapore and Disney mentioned together makes my heart sing! Singapore is one of our favourite places in the world for many reasons…Gardens by the Bay, the amazing food, its spot as a jumping off point for visiting Vietnam, Cambodia, Bali, etc. Now, if I could only convince my husband who is resistant to trying a Disney cruise to give it a try. I really hope you get to go, Tom!

I am absolutely excited for this and was hoping Disney would fleet east! I love the idea of expanding the market and offering sailings through Asia and see a huge demand. Not to mention a way to attract more international visitors to their three Asian parks and expand the Adventures by Disney offerings. We had been eyeing a Tokyo Disney trip in ‘25… May need to add a little oceanic tour in there as well.

What I actually dislike most about casinos is the seemingly deeply-held cultural standard that smoking must go hand-in-hand — ugh! It’s difficult to avoid the smoke even in the beautiful super fancy Las Vegas casinos. So I really hope that IF gambling is a feature of this new ship, it will remain non-smoking!

So very much this.

I live in Singapore and am really excited about this as have always wanted to go on a DCL cruise! I always think about doing a DCL cruise whenever I visit Orlando, but end up just spending more time in the parks instead… Had actually been hoping for some time that DCL might make a stop in Singapore (especially after they announced the Aus/NZ sailings last year) – using Singapore as a home port is basically more than I had been hoping for!

Side note about travel here from the USA: I’m not sure Singapore is really in the right place geographically as a stopover for travelling between Japan and the USA – instead Japan is usually a stopover destination for a number of flights between Singapore and the USA (Singapore-Tokyo-LA for example)! But there are a number of direct flights between Singapore and the USA now so might make it easier for you to get to Singapore…

Awesome news for you, then!

I didn’t really mean stopover in the traditional (layover) sense of the term. We often do LAX->HK->Osaka…Tokyo->LAX, which is technically a stopover in Hong Kong and open-jaw between Osaka and Tokyo before returning to Los Angeles. Simply works better for us that way in terms of weather and time spent in each location. Looking forward to swapping Singapore for HK soon!

We have a sailing this summer, I will book a rebound cruise in hopes of sailing on this ship! Very excited, I would not mind the gambling on board if it is there either. Never been much for that, but if there we will probably play a little bit just for fun.

I don’t really understand the allure of cruising (we have been on one cruise on the Dream and several family members have been on cruises with different lines). It was fun, but is far down my list of ways to spend vacation time and money. That said, I must be in a minority as the industry has exploded (passenger capacity has double in the past 10-15 years) so Disney is probably making a safe bet here.

Cruising is one of those rare things that has growing appeal with both baby boomers and millennials, two outsized and influential demographics.

So it certainly makes sense from that perspective, especially since the preferences of millennial consumers will be the main driver for the travel industry for decades to come.

Thanks, Tom…his was a fascinating read. Pretty savvy move by the Disney brass for sure, and keeping this ship permanently based in SE Asia definitely makes me feel like a casino is a foregone conclusion. I’ve actually been thinking for years that Singapore is probably the next (and possibly last) frontier for adding another castle park to the Disney roster. I feel like this ship will allow the company to gain some footing and build the parks/resorts brand in that market – and in the decades ahead, with new park(s) it could be the first locale that offers true “land and sea” packages that feel like a cohesive vacation.

I really wonder where the next castle park goes, and whether it’s built in my lifetime. Singapore sounds like it would be a great option, but also a “safe” one with less upside as compared to potential alternatives.

I’d hope that Shanghai Disneyland serves as a cautionary tale, but I fear that Disney might be willing to overlook a degree of instability and uncertainty to gain a toehold in an emerging market with a growing middle class audience.

I would absolutely love it if they ever built a Disney park in Singapore, but I suspect the main barrier to this is going to be cost and the amount of land they might be able to have especially given how small Singapore is. Universal Singapore is absolutely tiny compared to Universal Orlando and they don’t have much space for expansion, which is very sad as I would have loved a larger Universal park here.

(Side note – there are rumours and occasional articles written that apparently there was some negotiation between Singapore/Disney in the 1990s to build a Disney park in Singapore. Supposedly this is why there is an inordinately long stretch of distance between two of the MRT stations in Singapore as the space between these two stations was where the Disney park would have been built. But given that the cost of living and the cost of land have risen exponentially in Singapore since the 1990s I feel like a Singapore Disney park is even less likely now than it was then…)

Singapore Revealed as the Future Home Port for Disney Cruise Line’s ‘GLOBAL DREAM Project’

On March 29, 2023, an exclusive partnership between Disney Cruise Line and the Singapore Tourism Board was announced which will establish a presence for the cruise line in Southeast Asia with the ‘GLOBAL DREAM project’ home porting in Singapore .

Disney Cruise Line And Singapore Tourism Board To Bring Magical

The new vessel acquired by Disney Cruise Line late last year , is still undergoing a Disney remodel, however details of the yet to be renamed GLOBAL DREAM have yet to be announced.

The announcement was revealed by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro and Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, S. Iswaran.

“This is a very exciting year for The Walt Disney Company — 2023 marks our 100th anniversary,” D’Amaro said. “As part of this, Disney Cruise Line is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion with new ships and new destinations around the world. We are incredibly excited to make Singapore the home port to our seventh-launched ship, which will sail from here year-round starting in 2025.”

“We look forward to welcoming the magic of Disney Cruise Line to Singapore in 2025,” said Keith Tan, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board (STB). “This is an important milestone for STB and reflects Disney Cruise Line’s strong confidence in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Cue the Americans asking if they need a passport for Singapore or will a birth certificate do ?

Not sure I would want to be on this ship as China is friends with Russia not the USA. By 2025, we may be at war with China.

Singapore is its own country…

@pppooooppp Singapore is not part of china.

Russia is closer to the US (Bering Straight) than Singapore is to China

Singapore, a city-state located at the end of the Maylay Peninsula located 2,325 miles as the crow flies from the nearest Chinese border, is allied with the US, Britain, Australia to name a few. It has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, is ultra modern and enjoys great economic power due to its unique geographical location!

Well there’s a geography fail.

Appropriate user name for this comment.

One geography textbook needed!

This is a troll comment. Just look at the profile name…

Looks like they removed the third (5th and 6th) funnel from this pic of the ship.

Not a safe part of the world without the presence of the US Navy

Singapore is an exceptionally safe country, possibly the safest in SE Asia. The US does not and should not rule the world, but if it makes you feel better we do in fact have a base in Singapore. “The U.S. Navy maintains a logistical command unit, Logistics Group Western Pacific, in Singapore.”

Umm, Royal Caribbean/Princess/Celebrity to name just a few cruise lines, port out of there without any issue.

superb!! welcome Disney Cruise.

I feel a 15 night Trans-Pacific cruise from Singapore to LA coming up.

Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board Announce Cruise Vacations to Southeast Asia Starting 2025

by Michelle Snow
March 29, 2023 March 29, 2023

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro and Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, S. Iswaran jointly announced a partnership that will bring magical cruise vacations to Southeast Asia for the first time.

The Details

Under a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding , Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board agreed to homeport a brand-new Disney cruise ship exclusively in Singapore for at least five years beginning in 2025.

More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries, and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date, but the ship will be the recently acquired Global Dream Project ship that will be renamed and redesigned to fit the Disney fleet.

Disney Cruise Line estimates the passenger capacity of the 208,000-gross-ton ship to be approximately 6,000, with around 2,300 crew members.

It is also expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be fueled by green methanol, one of the lowest emission fuels available.

The original design for the Global Dream had a top deck filled with a theme park’s worth of attractions, including the longest roller coaster at sea. Disney Cruise Line hasn’t revealed any details about which entertainment and attraction opens will be available when Disney’s makeover is finished, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear anything.

Work on the ship continues under at a Meyer Weft shipyard, the same company that is building DCL’s two other upcoming Triton class ships. The next one is called the Disney Treasure and will feature an Aladdin theme. The Triton class ships, including the Disney Wish, are expected to service North American routes.

Cruising in Southeast Asia

This announcement will open up the region for the first time to the many Disney Cruise passengers, both new and returning, and has the potential to add millions of local and foreign cruise passengers across the five-year period.

Are you looking forward to cruising with Disney in Southeast Asia? What ports would you like to visit? Would you be more likely to book a cruise that included a day at Hong Kong Disneyland ? Let us know in the comments.

SINGAPORE: Mickey and friends are coming to town and calling it home, on a ship at least.

A new Disney Cruise Line vessel will make Singapore its exclusive home port for at least five years from 2025, in a partnership between the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the cruise line.

Singapore will be the company's first exclusive home port in Southeast Asia.

The as-yet unnamed ship will be the eighth and largest in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and also the largest cruise ship welcomed to Singapore's shores, said Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S Iswaran at the official announcement on Wednesday (Mar 29).

"By all accounts, this is a major milestone in the evolution of our cruise industry," said Mr Iswaran.

Disney Cruise Line had announced in November that it would acquire Genting Hong Kong's Dream Cruises' unfinished ship, after the latter filed for bankruptcy through its holding group.

The new ship that will call Singapore its home port is the same one Disney Cruise Line acquired from Dream Cruises, confirmed Mr Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences.

The ship's construction is projected to be completed at a shipyard in Germany, under the management of Meyer Werft, the same company that built three other Disney Cruise Line vessels.

The new ship will have an estimated passenger capacity of about 6,000 with about 2,300 crew members.

The 208,000-gross-ton ship is expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be fueled by green methanol, one of the lowest emission fuels, said STB and the cruise line in a joint press release.

"Disney Cruise Line's decision to home port in Singapore affirms our position as the region's premier cruise hub and major player in cruise tourism," said Mr Iswaran.

"It is also significant that Disney has chosen Singapore to home port its first cruise ship in Southeast Asia. It speaks volumes of our region's significant potential for cruise tourism, and to become, as some have described it, the Caribbean of the East."

2023 marks Disney's 100th anniversary, and the expansion to the cruise line is currently undergoing an "ambitious expansion" with new ships and new destinations around the world, said Mr Josh D'Amaro, chairman of experiences and products for Disney Parks.

"As we like to say, Disney Cruise Line is where magic meets the sea. For many guests, our ships, they are the true destination," he added.

Passengers can look forward to themed restaurants, Broadway-style shows with interactive characters and Disney kid clubs. The ships also feature Mickey Mouse-inspired colours and signature red funnels. More details about the maiden voyage of the Singapore-based ship, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.

Can Singapore become a hub for sustainable cruise ships?

STATE OF CRUISE INDUSTRY

As Singapore emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, its cruise industry is recovering well, in tandem with global travel, said Mr Iswaran.

In 2022, 1.2 million passengers passed through Singapore's ports, or two-thirds of pre-COVID-19 levels.

"This bodes well for the industry to recover to pre-pandemic levels soon," said Mr Iswaran.

The cruise industry currently contributes about S$630 million (US$474 million) of Singapore's GDP, and accounts for about 7,000 jobs here, said STB chief executive Keith Tan.

The Disney Cruise Line ship will increase this "quite significantly" given the ship's capacity, he added.

Mr Mazloum said Disney expects and welcomes "very strong interest" from the Southeast Asian market, since it is Disney Cruise Line's first appearance in the region.

Currently, the other ships cater predominantly to clients from the US market, he added.

Finally! The Disney Cruise Line is coming to Southeast Asia

Oh My Disney Asia's Instagram

MANILA, Philippines – Southeast Asia, ready to set sail because the Disney Cruise is finally coming your way!

The Disney Cruise Line partnered with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to homeport a new ship exclusively in Singapore starting in 2025 for at least five years.

In a joint statement released on their site on Wednesday, March 29, the Disney Cruise Line shared that their global expansion coincides with the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company in the year 2023.

“We are incredibly excited to make Singapore the home port to our seventh-launched ship,” Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro said.

Keith Tan, Chief Executive of STB, added that this “important milestone” is a manifestation of Disney Cruise Line’s “strong confidence in Singapore and Southeast Asia.”

This will be the first time that a Disney Cruise Line is coming to Southeast Asia, meaning Singapore and its neighboring countries including the Philippines will now finally be able to experience a Disney Cruise Ship without having to travel on a long-haul flight.

The new ship will reportedly have an estimated passenger capacity of 6,000 and around 2,300 crew members. It will also feature “innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart.”

Additional details about the ship’s maiden voyage, itineraries, and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.

The destinations of the current Disney Cruise Line include Bahamas, Western Caribbean, Eastern Caribbean, Southern Caribbean, Northern Europe, Mediterranean, Alaska, and South Pacific, among others. – Rappler.com

Disney unveils home for its largest cruise ship ever — and it might surprise you

It's official: Disney is making a play for the Asia cruise market.

The vacation giant's cruising arm, Disney Cruise Line , on Wednesday revealed that the massive, partly finished cruise ship it bought in November will eventually be based in Singapore for Southeast Asia voyages.

The vessel, which remains unfinished at a shipyard in Germany, was originally ordered for Asia-based Dream Cruises, which collapsed in early 2022. Disney bought it from liquidators for the brand and plans to have it ready to sail by 2025.

The ship was designed by Dream Cruises to appeal specifically to Asian family travelers. It will be one of the world's largest cruise vessels when completed.

In a joint announcement with the Singapore Tourism Board, Disney said sailings on the vessel would begin in 2025. It was originally supposed to be called Global Dream, but Disney hasn't announced a new name for the ship.

Disney on Wednesday didn't release details about the itineraries planned for the vessel or onboard features; it said those would come at a later date. However, it said the vessel would remain based in Singapore for at least five years.

When it begins service, the ship will be the seventh in the Disney fleet. Disney currently operates five ships, with a sixth on the way in 2024.

"This is a very exciting year for The Walt Disney Company — 2023 marks our 100th anniversary," Disney Parks, Experiences and Products chairman Josh D'Amaro said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "As part of this, Disney Cruise Line is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion with new ships and new destinations around the world. We are incredibly excited to make Singapore the home port to our seventh-launched ship, which will sail from [Singapore] year-round starting in 2025."

The new vessel will be the biggest cruise ship ever for Disney — by far.

At 208,000 tons, it'll be about 44% larger than Disney's recently unveiled Disney Wish — the line's biggest vessel — and bigger than all but six cruise ships currently at sea.

The ship's original design would have accommodated a record-breaking 9,000 passengers — something made possible by packing in a lot of cabins that could hold families of four. However, Disney has said it would reconfigure the ship to hold just 6,000 passengers.

Among the vessel features of Global Dream that were specifically designed for the Asian market was a massive one-and-a-half-deck casino. Until now, Disney has not had casinos on any of its five vessels, and the line is expected to alter the design of that part of the ship.

Disney has previously said its designers, called Imagineers, would work with the shipyard building the vessel to add Disney-themed features. Once completed, the vessel will have "innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart," the line said.

Disney also has said the ship's exterior would be adorned in the iconic Mickey Mouse-inspired colors of the fleet, complete with the line's signature red funnels.

Purchasing a half-finished ship originally slated for another cruise brand is a notably unusual move for Disney. The company likes to control the design and construction process of its resorts both on land and sea from the moment of their conception.

That said, Disney Cruise Line is in expansion mode. The brand already has two more new vessels on order for delivery in 2024 and 2025. The ships will be sisters to the line's recently unveiled Disney Wish.

The ship is being completed at the former MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, where it was originally under construction under the management of Meyer Werft. The shipbuilding company has built three of Disney's five existing vessels.

WEATHER ALERT

2 rip current statements in effect for Coastal Flagler and Coastal Volusia Regions

Disney cruise line’s newest ship heading to singapore, cruises beginning in 2025.

Landon McReynolds , Producer

ORLANDO, Fla. – The partially completed ship that Disney Cruise Line acquired last year will soon have a new home port in Singapore.

On Wednesday, Disney Cruise Line and the Singapore Tourism Board announced that magical cruise vacations will be coming to Southeast Asia for the first time beginning in 2025.

Disney And Singapore To Launch New Disney Cruise Line And Ships For Southeast Asia In 2025

Local waters are about to get a lot busier, as Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board (STB) are bringing magical cruise vacations to Southeast Asia for the first time. The country will play host to a brand-new Disney cruise ship starting 2025 , with the collaboration lasting at least five years.

“This is a very exciting year for The Walt Disney Company — 2023 marks our 100th anniversary,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said. “As part of this, Disney Cruise Line is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion with new ships and new destinations around the world. We are incredibly excited to make Singapore home port to our seventh-launched ship, which will sail from here year-round starting in 2025.”

The new ship will feature Disney experiences that include dedicated spaces and activities designed for guests of all ages, as well as mascot appearances from Captain Mickey Mouse, Captain Minnie Mouse, Disney Princesses, Marvel Superheroes, and more. It joins five existing ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet (Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish), with a sixth one, the Disney Treasure, poised to set sail in 2024.

The joint initiative also brings the first Disney Cruise Line home port in the region. In November last year, it was reported that the company had acquired the unfinished Global Dream cruise ship under construction in Germany, which was originally built for Genting Hong Kong. The House of Mouse has since confirmed that this very same vessel is the one being used for the new cruise ship coming to Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Disney's Newest Cruise Ship Will Set Sail in 2024 — What to Know

At D23 Expo, Disney teased its next cruise ship — and its new private destination in the Bahamas.

Courtesy of Disney Cruise Line

Disney announced at its D23 Expo over the weekend that its newest cruise ship will be ready to take to the high seas in 2024.

The vessel will be the sixth overall in the Disney fleet and the second of three "Triton Class" ships. Inspired by Walt Disney's love for exploration, its interiors will draw from architecture and design motifs from around the world. The Grand Hall, for instance, has a blue-and-gold scheme that recalls gilded architectural styles from across Asia and Northern Africa — it riffs on the fictional city of Agrabah from Disney's Aladdin.

"At the heart of every adventure, there’s a treasure, and we can’t wait for you to create memories aboard this spectacular ship," Disney parks, experiences, and products chairman Josh D’Amaro said at the D23 Expo where a host of announcements were made.

The ship wasn't the only announcement for Disney Cruise Lines . The company also shared renderings of its second Bahamian destination for its ships: Lighthouse Point on the island of Eleuthera, which was first announced in 2019 . Like Disney's private island Castaway Cay, Lighthouse Point will be a private beach retreat for Disney Cruise Line passengers, offering colorful amenities like a cultural pavilion, a water playground, and dining and shopping.

Disney also announced its first sailings departing from Australia and New Zealand. From October 2023 through February 2024, Disney Wonder will sail out of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in Australia, as well as Auckland, New Zealand, on a series of two- to six-night "Disney Magic at Sea" itineraries. These will be "cruises to nowhere" where the ship is the destination — it won't make port, but onboard programming will immerse guests in some of their favorite Disney universes, from Marvel to Star Wars.

Disney Wonder will also sail itineraries in the South Pacific — Disney Cruise Lines' first trips to the destination — during its transpacific crossings. Bookings open on October 6, 2022, and can be made here .

Pregnant woman airlifted from Disney cruise ship

The woman was taken to a hospital in Puerto Rico where she received treatment.

Pregnant Woman Evacuated From Disney Cruise Ship

The US Coast Guard has released dramatic footage of the moment a pregnant woman was airlifted from a Disney cruise ship after suffering "health complications".

A MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter was filmed landing on the bow of the Disney Fantasy ship that was sailing 180 miles northwest of Aguadilla in Puerto Rico .

The coastguard said in a statement: "The medevac patient was a 35-year-old pregnant woman, US citizen, who experienced health complications and required a higher level of medical care ashore."

In a video shared on social media, a member of the helicopter crew is seen attaching the stretcher to a rope which is then hoisted, lifting the passenger into the aircraft.

The pregnant passenger was taken to Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport in San Juan, where emergency service personnel were waiting, the US Coast Guard said.

She was later transported to the Centro Medico Hospital to receive treatment.

"Our crew was able to quickly, safely, and efficiently execute a long-range medevac for the patient to receive the higher level of care she required," Lieutenant Commander Todd Stephens said.

"This case demonstrates the value of good crew resource management and the capabilities of our Jayhawk helicopter."

Ensign Michael Riccio, the coastguard's leader for the case, added: "We are glad everything came together to help this passenger."

He added: "The competency displayed by the Disney Fantasy crew and the coastguard personnel and units involved made all the difference."

The Disney Cruise Line is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

It operates five ships that sail across the globe, stopping at destinations in Europe, Australia, Alaska and the Bahamas - including the company's own private island Castaway Cay.

7 amazing cruise itineraries to book in 2024

I don't know about you, but each year, as the weather turns cold, I start daydreaming about getting out of Dodge — or, in my case, Pennsylvania. My mind wanders to cruises that will take me to places where the temperature is warmer, but I also take a hard look at the (exceptionally lengthy) list of places I'm longing to visit.

After digging through what's new for 2024, I've come up with a shortlist of sailings that I think are noteworthy. They range from a standard Bahamas voyage with a new twist and an extended Alaska sailing that includes a foray across the Arctic Circle to more far-flung destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Dream on, dear reader, and add these to your list of 2024 cruise itineraries.

Note: All prices listed are per person, based on double occupancy, unless otherwise noted. Fares do not include taxes and fees.

Seabourn's 'Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas' itinerary

Last year, the Australia and New Zealand cruise region gained momentum following the pandemic shutdown. In 2024, the hardly populated Australia region of The Kimberley is gaining popularity. Luxury cruise brand Seabourn will be offering a series of six 10-night voyages between Broome and Darwin on expedition vessel Seabourn Pursuit during what will be early winter in the southern hemisphere.

The line's " Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas " will take passengers to places along the coast few passengers are able to visit to see the stunning teal waters and horizontal waterfalls of Talbot Bay, sample wines in the Hunter River Region and check out nature preserves in Wyndham.

Details: The first sailing, from Darwin to Broome, embarks on June 12. The final voyage, from Broome to Darwin, departs on Aug. 1. Prices start from $6,134 per person ($613 per person, per night), double occupancy, for the July 2 cruise. All accommodations are suites with balconies.

Celebrity's 'Best of Japan' and 'Vietnam and Thailand' cruises

The number of voyages in Asia was trending upward notably prior to 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought cruising in the region to an extended halt. And it's once again on the rise. Following that curve, Celebrity Cruises will be running new 11- to 13-night Asia sailings in 2024 on two ships — Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Solstice — that bring stops in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand.

What's notable about the offerings is that they will aim to immerse passengers further into the destinations by including overnights in a total of 11 ports across all itineraries. That means more time to explore Hanoi's Old Quarter as the sun sets, indulge in nighttime gastronomy in Hong Kong, visit one of Bangkok's many markets, or learn why Osaka is known for street food.

Details: Celebrity Millennium's " Best of Japan " cruises run from early mid-March to early October. At press time, the least expensive fares — for a 12-night sailing — start from $1,330 per person ($111 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. It travels round-trip from Yokohama and visits Hiroshima, Pusan and other ports, including Osaka, where the ship will overnight.

Celerbrity Solstice's Vietnam and Thailand cruises kick off in mid-January and run through March. The ship will resume them again in the fall of 2024 and run through the winter season. Prices start from $1,255 per person ($105 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. The voyage sails from Hong Kong to Singapore with stops in Da Nang and Koh Samui, plus overnights in Hanoi and Bangkok.

SeaDream's 'Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles' sailing

Here's one to put on your radar if you're looking to book — but not necessarily sail — in 2024. It's a new Mediterranean itinerary that doesn't start up for nearly three more years, in 2026. The SeaDream routing brings stops at seven ports that are rarely visited by cruise passengers. During the seven-night voyages, there will be calls at Primosten, Croatia; Cesme, Turkey; Cetubal, Portugal; and Kythira, Kythnos, Syvota and Tinos, Greece — making these sailings unique and well-suited to anyone who loves the region but who's looking for new places to experience.

SeaDream's small ships, each of which carries just 112 people, are able to reach locales about which passengers on megaships can only fantasize. Couple that with excellent service, and you'll be visiting the Our Lady of Loretto statue in Primosten, touring the Cesme Castle and lounging on stunning Greek beaches from a home base that puts you squarely in the lap of luxury.

Details: An itinerary that includes three of the seven new ports is the 11-night " Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles " itinerary from Venice, Italy, to Athens, Greece, departing on Aug. 8, 2026, on SeaDream I. Prices start from $10,399 per person ($946 per person, per night) for a room with a porthole view.

Holland America's 'Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice' Legendary Voyage

Alaska is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys the vastness of untouched wilderness, the wildlife it houses and adventurous pursuits it provides. (Think whale-watching, hiking on glaciers and salmon fishing.) However, Holland America 's Westerdam is hosting a 28-day sailing that's anything but your standard cruise to the Last Frontier .

Passengers will visit the usual Alaska ports, such as Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau, with scenic sailing through the Inside Passage, past Hubbard Glacier and to Glacier Bay. But they can also expect less-common stops at places like Nome, Kodiak, Anchorage (with an overnight) and Homer. Plus, about halfway through, this cruise crosses the Arctic Circle — a rite of passage for many travelers.

Details: Holland America's 28-day " Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice " cruise — one of the line's Legendary Voyages, known for longer durations and a unique mix of port calls — sails June 9-July 7, round-trip from Seattle. Inside cabins start from $5,299 per person (about $189 per person, per night).

Silversea's summertime French Polynesia cruises

Another consideration for future travel is Silversea Cruises , which is featuring its first full-summer season in French Polynesia in 2026. Silver Whisper will offer two immersive itineraries, including overnights, across 17 voyages between April and September.

Passengers can choose seven-night sailings that visit idyllic favorites like Tahiti, Moorea and Huahine and which also include overnights in Bora Bora. Or, they can cruise for twice as long by selecting a 14-night voyage that calls on the same ports as the seven-night option but with Fakarava, Nuku Hiva, Fatu Hiva, Atuona and Tahuata added.

Details: Silversea's seven-night voyages begin April 6, 2026, and start from $5,650 per person ($808 per person, per night) for an ocean-view cabin.

The line's 14-night sailings start on April 20, 2026. Fares start from $10,450 per person ($747 per person, per night) for ocean-view accommodations.

New Bermuda voyages on Carnival Venezia

Beginning in May of 2025, Carnival Cruise Line 's Carnival Venezia will sail a series of eight four- and five-night cruises to Bermuda from New York. These itineraries are notable because the line is aiming to increase its presence there but also because the style of the ship is new to even most of the brand's most dedicated passengers.

In 2022, Carnival announced its Costa by Carnival concept after revealing it would be transferring ships from its Costa sister brand to the Carnival fleet. Now, when travelers visit the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse or check out the island's renowned pink-sand beaches during a sailing on Carnival Venezia, they can enjoy both the Italian style of the ship and Carnival's fun atmosphere and high service standards.

Details: Voyages kick off on May 22, 2025. Prices start from $429 per person ($108 per person, per night) for an inside cabin on a four-night cruise departing Sept. 18, 2025.

Disney Cruise Line's Lighthouse Point itineraries

Disney Cruise Line 's new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , a private destination on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, is set to open in June with a three-night preview sailing on June 6 aboard Disney Magic. Following the initial voyage, the line will run regular three- to seven-night voyages to Lighthouse Point on Disney Magic, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.

The island will feature a dedicated family beach and water play area, an arts and culture pavilion focused on Bahamian culture, 20 family cabanas, an adults-only beach and a selection of shore excursion options.

Details: Prices for itineraries that include Lighthouse Point start from $624 per person ($208 per person, per night) for a three-night cruise on Disney Magic. The cruise departs Nov. 5 and sails from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Walt Disney World restaurant earns first-ever Michelin star

The chef de cuisine 'cooks with contemporary verve and draws on influences spanning from Asia to the Nordics,' Michelin's judges said.

Mickey Mouse and friends at Magic Kingdom

April 23, 2024

For foodies traveling to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World’s Victoria and Albert’s restaurant has long been a go-to restaurant. The upscale restaurant has won numerous awards , including 24 consecutive AAA Five Diamond Awards and the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award.

Over the years, though, one of the culinary world’s most prestigious honors, the Michelin star, has eluded Victoria and Albert’s — until now.

On April 18, Victoria and Albert’s was one of nine Florida restaurants to earn a Michelin star from the panel of anonymous inspectors who judge each restaurant based on its atmosphere, service and food.

Walt Disney World's Victoria and Albert's earns a Michelin star.

“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by Michelin for the innovative dining experience our team brings to life here at Victoria and Albert’s,” said Chef de Cuisine Matthew Sowers in a statement shared by the official Disney Parks Blog . “Everybody on our team earned this Star, from our stewards to our culinarians to our pastry chefs, and we hope to inspire future generations of culinary professionals to follow their dreams.”

The official Michelin statement about Victoria and Albert’s spoke highly of Sower’s culinary skill, saying “Chef Matthew Sowers cooks with contemporary verve and draws on influences spanning from Asia to the Nordics.”

Other standout qualities from the judges included Victoria and Albert’s “‘sandwiches’ made with venison carpaccio and red cabbage, and bold sauces like cherry-cola bordelaise.”

Restaurants can earn from one star to three stars based on their evaluation. One Michelin star is awarded “to restaurants using top quality ingredients, where dishes with distinct flavors are prepared to a consistently high standard.” Fewer than 200 U.S. restaurants earn a one-star Michelin rating, so winning this accolade is a major accomplishment.

Known for its wine list of more than 500 varieties and a constantly changing menu to reflect the freshest and finest ingredients, Victoria and Albert’s offers guests three dining experiences, including a meal in the traditional dining room, an expanded menu offering in Queen Victoria’s Room or a luxurious, intimate dining event at The Chef’s Table.

Walt Disney World's Victoria and Albert's Chef's Table dining experience
