“Adventure Updates” is a new series to track the journey of the Disney Adventure – all of its milestones and memories made along the way.
On 19 April 2025, the Disney Adventure held a traditional Float Out ceremony at Meyer Werft’s shipyard in Wismar, Germany, where the ship is being constructed. Guided carefully by a tugboat, the Disney Adventure floated out of the covered hall it has called home, into the shipyard harbor. The whole process took about one and a half hours, and considered a key event in shipbuilding, as the vessel transitions into open waters for the first time.
With the ship residing in the shipyard harbor, work can begin, including installing the signature Disney Cruise Line funnels atop the ship and the yellow lifeboats on the sides, as well as the experiences coming to the upper decks, like Marvel Landing’s Ironcycle Test Run. The “adventure” is said to have begun for Disney Adventure.
Palpable excitement reported to be seen and felt amongst spectators who gathered to watch the special milestone. In true Disney tradition, Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse greeted the ship as it floated out of the covered hall, much to the crowd’s delight, with a burst of fireworks to cap off the festivities.
The Disney Adventure is said to homeport and operate from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore for a minimum of five years, with the maiden voyage slated for 15 December 2025.
