The Disney Cruise Line has announced an exciting collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board to base a brand new Disney cruise ship in Singapore for at least five years starting in 2025.
While there aren’t many details about the voyage, itineraries, destinations, and onboard experiences that have been announced, one can get an idea of what to expect by looking at the other Disney cruises.
If you think this cruise will cater solely to families and children, think again.
Disney cruises also cater to adults with many activities and adult-only areas that have Marvel, Disney, or Pixar themes. ⚡

The ship that will be based in Singapore is still under construction.
It is projected to be completed at the MV Werften shipyard in Germany under Meyer Werft, the same company that built three of the five current Disney cruise ships, namely, Disney Dreams, Disney Fantasy, and the newest ship Disney Wish.
To get a rough gauge of how much a Disney cruise could cost, a four-night cruise on the Disney Wish to the Bahamas from Florida, U.S., starts at US$2,480 (S$3,312.60).
However, this price also includes amenities such as 24-hour room service, movie screenings, and access to adults-only pools, nightclubs, and lounges.
The Disney Wish has special restaurants like one inspired by the popular animated film Frozen as well as a Marvel-themed restaurant.
They are part of what Disney calls “rotational dining,” a dining schedule that allows guests to try a different restaurant each evening.
Onboard Experiences And Types of Rooms Available
In addition, guests on the cruise can interact with characters at meet-and-greets and live shows like Disney Cruise Line’s “Tangled: The Musical.”
If travelling with children, there are themed clubs for children of every age run by staff.
There are screenings of popular Disney movies in their theatre on the ship or out on the deck.
There are numerous types of rooms guests can choose from, ranging from the standard “inside stateroom” to the luxurious “concierge suites.”
How to Choose the Best Disney Cruise Ship
A Disney cruise would be unlike any other as each offers a unique experience.
The ship’s horn blasted the first seven notes of When You Wish Upon a Star, signalling the cruise’s departure.
With themed dining, characters at every turn, and extensive entertainment on offer, Disney Cruise Line brings all the magic of its theme parks to the sea.

Mammoth cruise ships can be intimidating, even for regular cruisers.
DCL’s first-ever ship, the Disney Magic, is hardly small by anyone’s reckoning but, like the Disney Wonder, carries 2,713 passengers compared to 4,000 on others in the fleet.
Disney Wish: Perfect for Fans of Frozen

Disney Wish offers passengers Frozen-themed experiences, including picnics and games.
The ship is also a must-book for any devoted fans of Elsa as it includes the world’s first Frozen-themed theatrical dining experience featuring musical performances, special effects, and interactions with the film’s characters.

There’s no longer any need to endure a long-haul flight to set sail with Mickey.

Destinations along the way include the medieval port of La Rochelle in France, the fjord-flanked fishing town of Ålesund in Norway, and the hip Spanish city of Bilbao with its tiny pintxos bars, walkable old town, and Guggenheim Museum.
In conclusion, the Disney Cruise Line is set to bring its magic to Singapore, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
Whether you’re a fan of Disney, Marvel, or Pixar, there’s something for everyone on a Disney cruise.
