Following the March 4 christening ceremony, the Disney Adventure’s inaugural season features three- and four-night cruises, offering magical days at sea with exceptional service, Broadway-style shows, imaginative dining, and world-class experiences for all ages.

Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog and DisneyCruise.com for the latest Disney Cruise Line news as the fleet prepares to welcome five more ships by 2031. Bon voyage!

March 4, 2026: Disney Adventure Christening Ceremony

Disney Cruise Line welcomed its newest ship, the Disney Adventure, to the rapidly expanding fleet with a dazzling christening ceremony at its new homeport of Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore.

The celebration began in the Walt Disney Theatre aboard the Disney Adventure, where the magic of Disney storytelling came to life. Guests enjoyed outstanding performances by talented regional vocalists and musicians, enhanced by magical visual effects and surprise appearances—including Captain Mickey Mouse, Captain Minnie Mouse and friends.

A 23-piece orchestra, joined by Hollywood Performing Arts Hall of Fame inductee Jed Madela and international recording artist Dami Im, took guests on an adventure through beloved Disney, Pixar and Marvel melodies tied to the seven themed areas onboard the ship. The show honored more than 100 years of storytelling, setting the stage for the incredible experiences onboard the Disney Adventure.

Chairman of Disney Experiences and incoming Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Josh D’Amaro, and President of Disney Signature Experiences, Joe Schott, joined the artists on stage to mark the momentous occasion.

“The Walt Disney Company has always been built on the power of storytelling and innovation – and Disney Cruise Line brings those values to life in extraordinary ways. Our cruise ships are ambassadors of our brand that carry joy, wonder and enchantment to destinations around the world,” said D’Amaro. “As our first ship to homeport in Asia, the Disney Adventure represents a new chapter for Disney Cruise Line and will introduce Disney to audiences who may be experiencing our magic for the very first time. It offers fans across this region an opportunity to immerse themselves in unforgettable ways and create memories that are uniquely Disney.”

The Godparent of the Disney Adventure, Robert Downey Jr., lent his voice to the ceremonial blessing for good fortune for the ship and all its guests. “I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the team at Walt Disney Imagineering, and I can tell you Adventure is the perfect name for what they’ve created,” he said. “Being the Godparent of this majestic vessel is an honor, and I have some serious duties to perform, so let’s make it official, shall we?”

Downey Jr. cued the orchestra, saying, “You bring the theme and I’ll bring the thunder,” followed by the official blessing, “I christen thee, Disney Adventure, may God bless this ship and all who sail upon her.”

The celebration ended as iconic Disney characters led a rousing rendition of the Disney Cruise Line tradition and guest-favorite song, “Let’s Set Sail.”

The atmosphere was electric as the ship approached Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, greeted by a stunning water salute and cheers from Cast Members, partners, and fans alike. The night sky sparkled with dazzling fireworks, marking the beginning of a new chapter for cruise vacations in the region.

“The arrival of the Disney Adventure in Singapore marks a significant milestone in our global expansion, introducing Disney cruising to Asia for the very first time,” said Joe Schott, president of Disney Signature Experiences. “Honoring Disney Cruise Line’s legacy of unforgettable journeys, our newest ship brings together our signature storytelling and creativity in an exciting new region.”

Singapore is a leading cruise hub in Asia, with direct flights from more than 160 cities and world-class cruise infrastructure, including the recently expanded Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore. The Disney Adventure’s five-year homeporting commitment marks a major milestone.

The festivities didn’t end there! To celebrate this momentous occasion, the red carpet was rolled out for more than 200 Singapore Cast Members and their family members and loved ones, as well as partners, who gathered in style for the Disney Adventure’s arrival. The celebration was inspired by the Hollywood Spotlight Club, one of the ship’s rotational dining locations, and paid tribute to the golden age of Hollywood. The evening sparkled with gourmet food and plenty of glitz and glamour.

When the Disney Adventure sets sail on its maiden voyage on March 10, guests can look forward to seven uniquely themed areas, with itineraries designed for days of fun at sea. The ship will introduce a series of firsts to the region, from regionally inspired cuisine and attractions at sea to new retail locations and numerous entertainment options at both the Walt Disney Theatre and the Garden Stage.

Takumi-Tei at EPCOT, nestled within the Japan Pavillion, features an omakase, which means “leave it up to the chef,” menu.

This two-hour omakase dining experience is a special occasion that is perfect for those celebrating or those wanting a foodie outing, all nestled within a theme park. And what makes it even more unique is that this menu changes with each season, meaning guests will never have the same experience twice.

Meet the Team

The team at Takumi-Tei has brought their passion and culture to the plate with a delicious selection that transports visitors with each and every bite.

Led by Chef Shingo in the kitchen and Yuki in the front of house, this ever-evolving menu encourages repeat visitation, as it continues to change with each and every season. The storytelling can be seen with each course that makes guests truly feel like they’re immersed within the Japanese culture.

Inside Takumi-Tei

The name of the restaurant means “House of the Artisan” in Japanese, and the space around you brings that to life. With five rooms inspired by a natural element – water, wood, earth, stone, and washi paper – each has a unique look and feel. From the chairs to the décor on the walls, and even the coasters, each room is filled with meaning that allows guests to truly be immersed into this culture.

The New Menu at Takumi-Tei

Guests have the choice between the full omakase menu, with a vegetarian option, as well as a semi course menu for a slightly lighter experience. The full menu features seven courses of delightful dishes.

The First Course

The brand-new Spring menu is inspired by the season in both look and flavor. The first course is Ichiju Sansai, which comes with three seasonal dishes. These options include:

• Sea Bream: Kombu–cured Sakura style accented with edible gold leaf
• Lightly Fried Tofu in Silken White Miso Broth served with Japanese mustard and pickled cherry blossom
• Salmon Roe & Spring Vegetables dressed in white sesame dressing garnished with silver leaf

The Second Course

Course number two is the chilled seasonal appetizer. This course features a Charcoal-Grilled Razor Clam & Tataki-Style Spanish Mackerel that is one of the most visual items on the menu, served in an actual clamshell. It’s accented with sea urchin, wasabi jelly, egg yolk vinegar emulsion, fine myoga julienne, and edible blossoms.

The Third Course

Course three is truly a spring-themed delight – the Spring Hanami Huassun Platter. This dish is adorned with cherry blossoms that truly embody the season. The small bites included in this platter on the omnivorous menu are:

• Saikyo Miso–Grilled Flounder
• Horse Mackerel “Kosode” Sushi
• Squid & Komatsuna Greens with toasted sesame dressing accented with edible blossoms
• Nanban-Style Marinated Fish accented with paprika amber gelée

• Grilled Eggplant & Paprika served with amber jelly
• Komatsuna Greens with Vinegar Miso Dressing garnished with edible blossoms

• Simmered Broad Beans in jade-colored broth

The Fourth Course

Next up, the simmered dish course. It features a lightly coated greenling, lotus root dumpling, petal-carved daikon, and season greens accented with plum sauce and fresh yuzu.

The Fifth Course

For the main dish, you get the option of the following:

• Crisp Tempura of Japanese Black Waygu with Sakura-infused mashed potatoes, tender broccolini, sweet sake velouté, and toasted egg crumble
• Char-Grilled Japanese Black Wagyu Sirloin with Sakura mashed potatoes, tender broccolini, velvety sweet sake sauce, and toasted egg crumble (This option is available as an upgrade)
• Crisp Fan-Shaped White Shrimp Tempura with egg yolk vinegar emulsion, fine spring onion, fried eggplant, and tender broccolini

The vegetarian main course is a crisp deep-fried assorted vegetable skewers that also features Sakura-infused mashed potatoes and caramelized onion ponzu sauce.

The Sixth Course

The penultimate course is the rice course with pressed eel sushi and shredded egg atop subtle Japanese Sasho pepper and a spinach and silken tofu in a red miso soup joined by an origami hat, which serves as a lovely keepsake to remember the night.

The Seventh and Last Course

Last, but certainly not least, the dessert course comes with matcha tea made tableside and a selection of seasonal sweets. The server hand-mixes the matcha right at your table!

For desserts, the three seasonal selections are:

• Strawberry Baked Cheesecake accented with milk caramel, whipped cream, and viola flower
• House-Made Strawberry Daifuku served with Sakura crystal jelly
• House-Made Sakura Mochi with Sakura crystal jelly-salt-pickled cherry blossom

Drink Pairings

For guests wanting beverage pairings for their visit, the team at Takumi-Tei has expertly selected offerings with each dish.

Disney Cruise Line's first ship in Asia features seven themed areas filled with adventure and imagination!

Today marks a truly special moment as Disney Cruise Line prepares for the christening of the Disney Adventure, a ship designed to be both the journey and the destination. Drawing on more than 100 years of Disney storytelling, this vessel – the first Disney Cruise Line ship in Asia – brings beloved stories, characters, and worlds together in unforgettable ways.

From elegant lounges for adults to immersive spaces for children and families, the ship’s seven themed areas are filled with adventure and imagination. Here’s an exclusive first look at some of the areas and venues awaiting guests.

Disney Imagination Garden

Inspired by a century of Disney storytelling, Disney Imagination Garden is the heart of the Disney Adventure. The open‑air courtyard centers around a prominent Garden Stage, where large‑scale performances, character moments, and celebratory events unfold during the day and throughout the evening on the voyage.

Guests can also savor global flavors at two quick-service eateries, Gramma Tala’s Kitchen and Mowgli’s Eatery, which offer a blend of Pacific and Indian inspired menus.

Town Square

A celebration of Disney Princess characters, Town Square welcomes guests into a world of timeless elegance and classic Disney storytelling. Designed as a central gathering place, this beautifully detailed area invites guests to write their own fairy tale with regal makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and whimsical dining and lounge venues, including Spellbound and Enchanted Summer Restaurant.

Nearby, families can attend Broadway-style shows at the Walt Disney Theatre. The ship’s world-class lineup of live performances includes “Disney Seas the Adventure” and “Remember,” an all-new production created exclusively for those sailing aboard the Disney Adventure.

Not far from Town Square, guests will find two of the ship’s signature restaurants: Navigator’s Club and Hollywood Spotlight Club.

San Fransokyo Street

Fans of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Big Hero 6 are in for a treat as they step into San Fransokyo Street, a vibrant urban market featuring themed entertainment and shopping experiences for guests.

Family fun awaits at the Big Hero Arcade, a dynamic gaming lounge; Baymax Cinemas, a four-screen movie theater; Alley Cat Café; and a myriad of all-new signature shopping experiences including Duffy and Friends Shop and the National Geographic Store.

Marvel Landing

Guests can unlock epic legends from the Marvel universe at Marvel Landing, where experiences inspired by fan-favorite Super Heroes come to life. This action‑packed area is home to thrilling attractions for heroes of all ages including Ironcycle Test Run, the longest rollercoaster at sea, Pym Quantum Racers, and Groot Galaxy Spin.

Wayfinder Bay

Families can look for the line where the sky meets the sea at Wayfinder Bay, a sun-drenched retreat on the ship’s stern inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film, Moana. This relaxing outdoor oasis offers a serene palace to unwind by the pool, take in sweeping ocean views, and enjoy live entertainment.

Disney Discovery Reef

At Disney Discovery Reef, guests can dive into a world inspired by beloved underwater tales from Disney and Pixar and discover a collection of themed eateries, bars, and cafés.

From Palo Trattoria and Mike & Sulley’s Flavors of Asia, two of the ship’s signature fine dining restaurants, to Bewitching Boba and Brews, a wickedly delicious bubble tea shop, and Taverna Portorosso, a sports bar styled after the coastal Italian village featured in Disney and Pixar’s Luca, there’s something for everyone at Disney Discovery Reef.

Toy Story Place

Designed for kids and kids at heart, Toy Story Place is a dedicated water play area that celebrates the colorful world of Pixar’s Toy Story films.

Located on the ship’s upper decks, this lively area invites families to explore several playful water features inspired by the films, including a large family pool, multiple whirlpools, towering water slides, and interactive splash pads.

The Disney Adventure brings Disney stories and Disney Cruise Line to a whole new region of guests. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for more on this incredible new ship and the christening festivities in Singapore!
