Everything we know about the Tokyo Disney Cruise
This new ship, modelled after the colossal Disney Wish (currently Disney’s largest vessel), is expected to set sail on its maiden voyage sometime in fiscal year 2028. This expansion is a collaborative effort between Disney and Oriental Land Company (OLC), the operator of the beloved Tokyo Disneyland. With a maximum capacity of 4,000 passengers, this magical ship promises to bring the world of Disney to life on the high seas for countless Japanese fans.
This expansion reflects the booming cruise industry, quickly rebounding after a global pandemic slowdown. Disney sees a unique opportunity to bring their immersive storytelling and beloved characters to new destinations, reaching fans who might not live near their existing theme parks. Think enchanting evenings spent with Mickey Mouse on a cruise departing from Singapore (another new Disney ship launching in 2025) or exploring fantastical worlds inspired by Disney movies while sailing the open waters.
Disney also recognizes a gap in the traditional cruise market — families! Their unique approach caters specifically to multi-generational travellers, offering something for everyone. As Disney themselves say, a significant portion of their cruise passengers wouldn’t be sailing if it weren’t for the Disney experience. This new Tokyo ship is poised to capture that same magic and create unforgettable memories for families across Japan.
More Disney magic on the horizon
This Tokyo cruise ship announcement is just one piece of the puzzle for Disney’s ever-expanding empire. Their experiences business, which includes theme parks and cruises, continues to be a major revenue driver. Recent investments include new themed areas at Tokyo DisneySea, a Frozen-themed land at Hong Kong Disneyland, and a Zootopia experience in Shanghai. Disney fans can also expect announcements for exciting new attractions at their California and Florida theme parks later this year.
