Genting Hong Kong ordered two ships of the class in May 2016 from its subsidiary Lloyd Werft Group for service in the Star Cruises fleet, with delivery of the first vessel planned for 2019. In July 2016, Genting Hong Kong reorganized Lloyd Werft Group, resulting in the formation of MV Werften as a builder of large cruise ships; accordingly, the Global-class order was transferred to Dream Cruises. Unlike prior Disney Cruise Line additions, the Disney Adventure doesn’t yet have a set timeline. While it’s expected that the Adventure will become the seventh ship in the Disney fleet, with plans for a third Triton-class ship like the Wish and Treasure, it’s uncertain whether it might become the eighth depending on how the other planned ships pan out.

The addition of the Disney Adventure, homeporting for at least five years beginning in 2025, will bring even more families to this vibrant destination. Global Dream was already designed to sail throughout Asia, so it’s also likely Disney Adventure will retain some of the fixtures to meet the expectations of the Singaporean market. The final steps in construction of the ship will continue to be completed in the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany.

I’ve learned this is a soft launch and the full experience will be available to guests later this fall. Disney Adventure is scheduled to be delivered in 2025, embarking soon after on its maiden voyage from Singapore. In another first for Disney Cruise Line, Disney Adventure will be the first ship based in Asia, which also happened to be the plan for Global Dream. The ship is slated to homeport in Singapore for at least five years beginning in 2025, signaling Disney's intention to cater to the Asian market.

Overall gross tonnage -- actually a measurement of space, not weight -- is set at roughly 208,000. By passenger volume, this makes the ship slightly smaller in size compared to Royal Caribbean's existing Oasis-class ships like Wonder of the Seas or the upcoming Icon of the Seas and even MSC Cruises’ new megaship, MSC World Europa. In November 2022, Disney announced it had acquired the Global Dream, a 208,000-gross-ton ship.

The new expectation is for approximately 6,000 passengers and around 2,300 crew or cast members in Disney-speak. Under construction since 2018 and delayed due to the pandemic, the ship -- initially dubbed Global Dream -- was previously set to launch for Dream Cruises, catering mostly to Asian travelers, in 2022. However, Genting Hong Kong, the line's parent company, went bankrupt in early 2022, causing the unfinished ship to be put up for sale.

Major components of the ships were constructed at both shipyards, with assembly taking place in Wismar. Construction was scheduled to take just under three years, with the first ship to be delivered in late 2020 and the second in late 2021. We can guess, though, based on the name of the ship that this DCL addition will be themed around the spirit of adventure.

At the time Genting Hong Kong – the parent company of Genting Cruise Lines – declared bankruptcy in January 2022, the new ship was approximately 70% completed. For months, the hull remained in limbo while rumors swirled about cruise purchases or potential scrapping. A lot of mystery surrounds what will be the seventh or eighth ship in the Disney fleet when it debuts, but there is a great deal that we do know about the massive cruise ship. Questions also remain regarding implementation of the line’s rotational dining concept, what will replace the existing casino space, likely an expansion of the Disney’s renowned kids' facilities, and much more.

According to Disney, Adventure Bay will also double as an entertainment stage that will showcase water-based entertainment that combines fountains, music, lights, and special effects. Few details have been released on fitout of the ship that remained unfinished at the time of sale. However, with Disney Adventure being much larger than any other Disney ship, guests can expect a lot more variety in new and reimagined Disney spaces. The 189,000-tonne ship, worth a reported US$1.8billion ($2.4 billion) if complete, was sold as a hull after the insolvency of Genting Hong Kong.

Disney Adventure is an upcoming cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, due to enter service in 2025. Disney Adventure is the first and only ship of the Global class, with her then-planned sister ship scrapped due to Genting Hong Kong, Star Cruises, Dream Cruises, and MV Werften all filing for bankruptcy from January to June 2022. The other seven ships in the Disney fleet are Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny. More details about the ship’s maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be revealed in the future, according to Disney. The cruise line has also revealed that Disney Adventure will feature innovative Disney experiences along with the entertainment, dining and guest service features found throughout Disney Cruise Line's fleet.
