All aboard: Inside Disney’s largest cruise ship before its maiden voyage

Disney Cruise Line’s largest vessel, the Disney Adventure, is set to embark on its maiden voyage from Singapore on Tuesday (March 10), as the company pushes further into Asia with sprawling themed zones and Marvel‑inspired attractions.

Homeported at Singapore’s Marina Bay Cruise Centre, the ship – which has a full capacity of 6,700 – will run three‑ and four‑night “cruises to nowhere,” giving guests an at‑sea getaway focused entirely on onboard experiences.

Among its seven themed areas is Marvel Landing, an open‑air attraction zone anchored by Ironcycle Test Run, the line’s first roller coaster at sea. At the centre of the vessel is the Imagination Garden, a multi‑level storybook‑themed courtyard built around a three‑deck‑tall castle, greenery and a stage for live performances.

The Disney Adventure arrived in Singapore earlier in the week to a water‑cannon salute and a fireworks display, marking its official welcome to its new home port.
