URAYASU, Japan (Reuters) – Walt Disney unveiled plans on Tuesday to launch a new cruise ship that will set sail from Tokyo starting in 2028, adding a ninth vessel to the brand’s growing fleet.
The new ship will be modeled after the Wish, the group’s largest vessel. This partnership is with Oriental Land Company. It is part of a 10-year, $60 billion expansion of Disney’s parks and cruise business. #DisneyTokyoCruise
Disney currently has five cruise ships in operation. In addition to the Tokyo-based vessel, it has plans for three others, including one that will set sail from Singapore in 2025.
The ship, whose name was not revealed, will have a maximum capacity of 4,000 passengers and is expected to bring in about 100 billion yen ($621.77 million) in annual sales within several years of launch, OLC said.
The new Disney Tokyo cruise ship will feature state-of-the-art amenities. Guests can enjoy themed dining, entertainment, and activities. The ship’s design will reflect both Disney magic and Japanese culture, enhancing the overall experience. #DisneyTokyoCruise
