With three new Disney Cruise ships on the horizon and more destinations to explore, Disney cruisers have a lot to be excited for! Now there’s even more to look forward to, as Disney announced a new agreement with Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) that will bring year-round Disney cruise vacations to Japan.
Under a recently signed agreement, OLC will operate a Disney-branded cruise business in Japan, expected to begin by early 2029. Disney has partnered with OLC over the last 40 years, as they already own and operate [the absolutely beautiful] Tokyo Disney Resort.
A new Disney cruise ship, to be registered and based in Japan year-round, will be constructed at the Meyer-Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. As a sister ship to the Disney Wish, it will feature many popular venues and experiences from the Wish with some modifications specially designed with Japanese guests in mind. It is expected to be approximately 140,000 gross tons and powered by liquefied natural gas, with about 1,250 staterooms.
The addition of a locally-based Disney cruise ship will offer fun and relaxation for Japanese Disney fans and visitors from around the world during magical voyages Disney Cruise Line is known for; filled with incredible entertainment, world-class dining and exceptional guest service.
More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.
