New Disney Ships: News, Rumors, Speculation.....and Names!

[Kingkonig]

Great link. 20,000 tons may not seem like a lot, but it added 500 passengers. I noticed that the OLC/Tokyo order is roughly the same as the Wish class (I'm a purist and refuse to call it the Triton class when none of the ships bear that name).

Hasn't Disney actually referred to the class of the ships as "Wish-class" ever since the Wish was named? I know for the longest time they were referred to as three "Triton-Class" ships, but IIRC that was a code name for them prior to the naming of the Wish.

There is no such thing as “Triton” class of ships. “Triton” was the project name for the “Wish” class of ships.

The Wish’s (ship) blueprints confirm that the class of ships is called: “Wish”

This was also confirmed in the DCL Duo podcast.

Hey, maybe the Tokyo ship will be called Triton!!

I'm not sure how accurate that report is on the ship size. They don't list their sources, at least not as far as I could tell. Also the fact that it's such a round number makes me think it's at best directional.

But also interesting to note that 160k GT is not hugenormous. Ships from other cruiselines that are in that size range do not have a massive number of features like enormous waterparks and rollercoasters, etc.... those tend to be reserved for ships quite a bit larger. So if the 160k GT number is accurate, I wouldn't be surprised if these are more of a Triton+ type of category.

And to settle the Triton- vs Wish-class discussion, I suggest we merge the two names together: The Trish Class

True, it's not humongous, but it's the displacement one and a half US Navy aircraft carriers with the air wing embarked

On a page I follow on the book of faces, someone just posted a YouTube video that was just released at the reveal that the Adventure will have a roller coaster! I'm guessing similar to what the Carnival Mardi Gras has??

Disney Adventure’s 7 Themed Areas:​

Disney Imagination Garden​

At the heart of the ship, amid a charming courtyard and majestic stage, lies a special gathering place brimming with the magic of 100 years of Disney storytelling. Because every story begins with a spark of imagination, your holiday at sea begins here, with a high-energy Let’s Set Sail dance party. Throughout your voyage, you can also catch captivating stage performances like Avengers Assemble!, spot some favorite Disney Characters and enjoy Indian and Pacific cuisines at Gramma Tala’s Kitchen and Mowgli’s Eatery.

Disney Discovery Reef​

Immerse yourself in the enchanting underwater tales of The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch and Luca at this expansive open-air retreat at the back of the ship. Savor tasty offerings at Cosmic Kebabs. Sip on a wickedly delicious bubble tea at Bewitching Boba and Brews. And explore the breezy sports bar, Taverna Portorosso, and the walkup coffee bar, Palo Café, both inspired by the picturesque coastal Italian village featured in the Pixar movie Luca. This breezeway is also home to upscale dining at Palo Trattoria and Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia. All of this and more is set amid dazzling coral reefs and soft sunlight filtering through glass canopies. By night, witness the area transform into a wondrous bioluminescent paradise.

Toy Story Place​

Dive into aquatic family fun as the whimsical world of the Pixar Toy Story films spring to life in surprising and imaginative ways. This lively area, spanning the center of the upper decks, takes the joy of play to infinity and beyond, with the Sunnyside Family Pool, Woody and Jessie’s Wild Slides, the Flying Saucer Splash Zone, the Toy Story Splash Pad and several whirlpool spas. The family can also enjoy watching Disney films on 2 jumbo screens. And when it’s time to refuel, enjoy a quick bite from Pizza Planet or a soft-serve ice cream from Wheezy’s Freezies.

Marvel Landing​

Calling all Avengers! A fun-filled adventure zone on the high seas awaits you at Marvel Landing. Located on the ship’s upper deck, this mighty area is a celebration of all things Marvel, where new recruits and seasoned Super Heroes alike can avenge their need for adventure with 3 brand-new, supercharged attractions—Groot Galaxy Spin, Pym Quantum Racers and Ironcycle Test Run, the first-ever roller coaster aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship. It is also the longest roller coaster at sea—spanning over 820 feet (250 meters)!

Wayfinder Bay​

When spirit of discovery beckons, follow your heart to this outdoor oasis of relaxation and entertainment inspired by the Disney film Moana. Lounge on tiered deck seating, cool down with a refreshing beverage from the shaded Voyager Bar or unwind in the sparkling wading pool. The pool area, featuring a massive screen, also doubles as a unique performance venue for interactive events and live shows like Moana: Call of the Sea.

San Fransokyo Street​

The vibrant energy of Tokyo meets the laid-back charm of San Francisco on this lively “street” inspired by the Disney film Big Hero 6. Secret entrances to urban-themed tween and teen youth clubs are located within 2 of the street’s charming shops—Edge of the Bay Café and Vibe Records. At the end of the street Guests can check out the action at a trolley stop, a cable car lounge, a shopping area and Baymax Cinemas, showing classic and newly released Disney films. One of the highlights of San Fransokyo Street is Big Hero Arcade, a one-of-a-kind family gaming lounge featuring video games and immersive, high-tech experiences—plus a chance to meet the one and only Baymax, the film’s larger-than-life healthcare companion robot.

Town Square​

Celebrating the Disney Princesses from Tangled, Cinderella, Frozen, The Princess and the Frog and more, this fantastical area offers lavishly themed dining, quaint cafés and lounges, imaginative salons and stunning shops. As the ship’s premier indoor entertainment hub, Town Square is also home to the iconic Walt Disney Theatre, where enchanting Broadway-style shows spring to life—and Spellbound, the shadowy lounge inspired by the Evil Queen from the Disney Animation Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Disney Adventure sure seems more Theme Park at sea with the Ship being the destination rather than port stops. It will make a very tempting thing to do if I find myself in Singapore or twinning with another country in South East Asia.

Certainly a different concept - would be surprised if the ship doesn't make at least one stop somewhere so people can have a beach day if they wish. There are a lot of islands in Thailand Im sure Disney could acquire in the future if they wanted something exclusive.

I think they've pretty well confirmed without explicitly saying that it will be just sea days and no port stops. Should get itineraries soon, but nobody's expecting any port stops at this time.

Sure sounds like the plan is just short 3 & 4 day cruises to nowhere. I do not think any port stops are planned at all from anything I have read thus far.

Honestly if they were allowed to do it I think they would do the same with a ship in the US. Why let people off the boat to spend money when you can keep all that spending on board?! But the PVSA prevents them from offering a cruise to nowhere from US ports since they are foreign flagged vessels.

Per an email sent to Castaway Club members this morning, the Disney Adventure will begin a staggered booking process with Pearl member on December 3, and bookings will open to the general public on December 9.

 

[sky13]

OK with the dates I'm probably not planning to go on this until 2026.

December 2025 will be crazy popular especially since it's school holidays here in Singapore - I'd imagine it will likely be expensive (especially since first few sailings, high demand for travel that time of year), and probably difficult to book.

So I guess I'll aim to do this early 2026. Depends on the prices of course though...

Bummer. I had not heard that. I was hoping it would do a similar itinerary to RCCL 3 and 4 nighters out of Singapore with stops in Malaysia and Thailand. Or at least one.

More pics of staterooms etc on Adventure - the triples are certainly new and look bare as heck; presumably the other half has the actual room? ^^;

Some non-Disney things they won't be able to hide. I like the renderings but because of where she's based, I'll probably never step foot on her.
