Did Disney buy a new ship?

In March, Disney said it will base a new ship in Singapore starting in 2025, and the Disney Adventure will be that ship. Disney acquired the 208,000-gross-ton ship from liquidators after the former owner, Genting Hong Kong, went bankrupt and ceased operations.



Yes, Disney Cruise Line has recently made significant additions to its fleet, including the acquisition and launch of several new vessels. The newest ship currently in service is the Disney Destiny, which debuted in late 2025. This followed the 2024 launch of its sister ship, the Disney Treasure. Perhaps most notably, Disney purchased a partially completed "Global Class" ship, now named the Disney Adventure, which is scheduled for its maiden voyage on March 10, 2026. This massive ship, displacing over 208,000 tons, is the largest in Disney's fleet and will be based in Singapore to serve the Asian market. Furthermore, Disney has committed to an aggressive expansion plan that includes five additional ships currently on order, with delivery dates stretching out to 2031. This expansion will nearly double the size of the fleet from just a few years ago. These new "Wish-class" and "Global-class" ships are designed with advanced technology, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion, and feature heavily themed environments inspired by Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar.
