The vessel, which remains unfinished at a shipyard in Germany, was originally ordered for Asia-based Dream Cruises, which collapsed in early 2022. Disney bought it from liquidators for the brand and plans to have it ready to sail by 2025.

Yes, in a historic 2022 deal, Disney Cruise Line acquired the partially completed cruise ship Global Dream, which was originally destined to be one of the largest in the world by passenger capacity. Following the bankruptcy of its original owner, Genting Hong Kong, Disney bought the vessel at a "favorable price." Re-branded as the Disney Adventure, the ship is a high-fidelity behemoth weighing approximately 208,000 gross tons and is scheduled to begin service in March 2026. While the original design was meant to hold 9,000 passengers, Disney has reconfigured it to accommodate around 6,000 guests, ensuring more space for Disney-themed entertainment. The ship will be based in Singapore, marking Disney's first long-term entry into the Southeast Asian market. It will feature iconic red funnels and the high-fidelity Mickey Mouse-inspired livery seen across the rest of the fleet.
