“What to Expect from the Disney Cruise Arriving in Singapore in 2025 “

In March 2023, Disney Cruise Line announced a partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board to base a brand new Disney cruise ship in Singapore for a minimum of five years, starting in 2025.

While specific details about the voyages, itineraries, destinations, and onboard experiences have yet to be released, we can glean insights by looking at other Disney cruises.

Contrary to the belief that these cruises cater solely to families and children, Disney cruises also offer a wealth of activities designed for adults, including dedicated adult-only areas featuring Marvel, Disney, and Pixar themes.

The ship slated to dock in Singapore is still under construction and is expected to be completed at the MV Werften shipyard in Germany, under Meyer Werft—the same company responsible for building three of the five current Disney cruise ships: Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and the latest addition, Disney Wish.

Cost and Amenities
To provide a ballpark figure for potential costs, a four-night cruise on the Disney Wish to the Bahamas from Florida starts at approximately US$2,480 (S$3,312.60). This price includes various amenities such as 24-hour room service, movie screenings, and access to adults-only pools, nightclubs, and lounges.

The Disney Wish features unique dining options, including a restaurant inspired by the animated film Frozen and a Marvel-themed eatery. Disney employs a “rotational dining” schedule, allowing guests to experience a different restaurant each evening.

Guests can also enjoy meet-and-greets with beloved characters and live performances, such as Disney Cruise Line’s “Tangled: The Musical.” For families traveling with children, the ship offers themed clubs catering to kids of all ages, along with screenings of popular Disney films in onboard theaters or on deck.

While concrete information about the upcoming Disney cruise ship for Singapore is limited, reviews and videos shared by guests who have sailed on the Disney Wish in the U.S. suggest that Singaporeans can anticipate a similarly magical experience.

Guests will have a variety of accommodations to choose from, ranging from standard inside staterooms to luxurious concierge suites.

The Price Debate
While US$2,480 (S$3,312.60) for a four-day cruise may seem steep, opinions are mixed on whether the cost is justified. A TikTok user, @theshayspence, who shared their adult experience aboard the Disney Wish, noted that some viewers were deterred by the price tag.

As anticipation builds for the arrival of the Disney cruise in Singapore, it remains to be seen how this unique offering will cater to both families and adults alike.
