Disney Adventure is a cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. She is the eighth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the first and only current vessel of the Global class, with her originally planned sister ship canceled. At 208,108 gross tonnage (GT), Disney Adventure is among the largest cruise ships in the world and the largest cruise ship ever built in Germany. In general, she is also the first four-funnelled ocean-going passenger vessel since the retirement of the RMS Aquitania 75 years before.
She is planned to operate year-round from Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore until at least early 2031, marking Disney Cruise Line's first ship to be based outside the United States. The itineraries will feature a new concept for the company in which the ship itself is "both the journey and the destination," offering 3- and 4-night voyages entirely at sea with no port calls.
The vessel was originally ordered on May 11, 2016, by Genting Hong Kong for its Dream Cruises brand. Construction began with the keel laying on September 11, 2018, at the Rostock shipyard of MV Werften, a Genting subsidiary. Progress was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to the financial collapse of MV Werften and Genting. Disney purchased the vessel in 2022, estimated to be 60–80 percent complete, for €40 million—far below its original €1 billion valuation. After the acquisition, completion was overseen by Meyer Werft at MV Werften's former shipyard in Wismar, leased from TKMS. The interior was fitted with a reduced passenger capacity compared with the original plan. The ship was launched on April 19, 2025, began sea trials in September 2025, and was completed on December 12, 2025. Her maiden voyage took place on March 10, 2026.
Disney Adventure has a passenger capacity of approximately 6,700 and a gross tonnage of 208,108, making her 45% larger than the previous largest Wish-class ships. She measures 342.7 meters (1,124 ft) in length, 46.4 meters (152 ft) in width, and is five decks taller than the Dream- and Wish-class vessels, with 1,954 staterooms. The ship is designed to use lower-emission methanol fuel, though as of 2026 green methanol is not yet widely available in Singapore, and is equipped with azimuthing podded propulsion (Azipod).
