🚢 The Disney Adventure is NOT your typical Disney Cruise.
This isn't just Disney's biggest ship ever at 208,000 gross tons. It's a completely different philosophy for what a Disney cruise can be.
So what makes it so different?
Start with the structure: it’s laid out more like a theme park at sea. There are seven fully themed areas, from underwater Discovery Reef to the San Fransokyo streets of Big Hero 6, complete with arcade games and hidden teen club entrances.
Instead of the classic atrium grand hall, the Adventure has Imagination Gardens. Imagineering says this is the ship’s Main Street: a massive open-air hub with a sorcerer Mickey topiary, a castle backdrop, and live stage shows.
Let’s talk entertainment, because there’s A LOT: A kinetic Marvel show where characters fly above you. A Broadway-style WALL-E production. A poolside Moana show. A Duffy & Friends show. It goes on and on.
Come hungry, because there’s an impressive lineup of dining locations and lounges, including six rotational dining locations instead of Disney’s standard three (guests are still assigned to 3 locations).
The top deck has the longest roller coaster at sea. Disney is the only cruise line doing fireworks at sea, and here they've scaled that up to a 11-minute Lion King spectacle.
But here's the biggest difference: there are no ports of call. The ship IS the destination.
Disney Adventure sails out of Singapore, where short no-stop cruises are the norm. This is Disney's first ship purpose-built for the Asian cruise market, which informs so much about the ship’s on-board offerings.
And here's what I can't stop thinking about: this ship was not originally supposed to be a Disney ship at all.
How Imagineering transformed a bankrupt cruise line's vessel into this? That's a story for another video. 👀
