Disney Adventure will sail from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre for at least five years beginning in 2025
Disney Cruise Line, the cruise subsidiary of the American entertainment giant Walt Disney Company, has unveiled new details about one of the seven themed areas aboard Disney Adventure, slated to set sail from Singapore in 2025.
In a press statement, DCL says that the Disney Imagination Garden will be the central hub of the ship, designed as a valley inspired by 100 years of Disney adventures.
The statement adds that the colourful landscapes of Disney Imagination Garden are created to transport passengers into the pages of well-loved Disney stories alongside the fictional characters.
The vibrant, open-air garden will be set against a three-deck-tall, storybook castle art piece, a first-of-its-kind onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship.
DCL says that the space will also include a state-of-the-art theatrical stage that will bring Disney stories to life, two quick-service eateries, an alluring bar and a selection of garden-view staterooms.

“Disney Imagination Garden is the heart and soul of the Disney Adventure, where our passengers will interact with our Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories in a whole new way,” says Laura Cabo, Portfolio Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering.
“The size and scale of this space provided us with so many opportunities to dream big and try new things with our experiential design, creating first-of-a-kind experiences for our guests, from all-new entertainment to delicious dining and lots of magical surprises sprinkled throughout. Rooted in the rich legacy of Disney storytelling, we are creating an area that will open doors to new adventures and encourage passengers to create magic of their own,” Cabo adds.
The statement adds that Disney Imagination Garden is one of seven uniquely themed areas on the Disney Adventure, each teeming with incredible characters and unique experiences.
The other areas include Disney Discovery Reef, San Fransokyo Street, Wayfinder Bay, Town Square, Marvel Landing and Toy Story Place. More details about these themed areas will be released at a later date.
Adventure Begins: Exploring Disney Imagination Garden
The statement adds that the Disney Imagination Garden, recreated from the pages of a classic pop-up storybook, will be filled with landscapes styled like paper cut-outs, including decorative foliage of blooming flowers, shaped topiaries, tall trees and cascading vines, all among scenic props like towering trellises and twinkling lanterns.
Planted throughout the idyllic scenery will be a mix of popular characters and designs from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.
The cruise line adds that Disney Imagination Garden will be anchored by the Garden Stage on one end and the larger-than-life castle artwork on the other, with a promenade in between providing families with opportunities to explore, connect and dine.
Directly in front of the stage will be an open “lawn” area leading to a large staircase that will double as amphitheatre-style seating, ideal for enjoying live entertainment on the Garden Stage.
DCL says that on either side of the staircase, intricately adorned arches and leafy tree branches with hanging lanterns will further evoke the area’s storybook garden theme.
The cruise line adds that at the top of the staircase, passengers can discover a garden courtyard and bar surrounded by trees designed to look like storybook cut-outs and decorated with images of familiar animal pals.
At the centre of the courtyard, a Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Mouse topiary will stand with his wand held high as if conjuring this magical garden where fictional characters and stories bloom to life.
The cruise line says that families staying in designated Garden View staterooms, an all-new room category for Disney Cruise Line, will have access to a veranda providing unmatched views of Disney Imagination Garden.
Set the Stage: Activating All-Day Entertainment
The cruise line adds that programmes of high-energy shows, character appearances and other surprises will await families on the state-of-the-art Garden Stage.
Complete with three-deck-high LED screens, special effects and innovative theatrical tools, this cutting-edge performance venue will delight passengers of all ages throughout each day of their voyage aboard Disney Adventure.
One of the signature entertainment experiences performed on the Garden Stage will be Avengers Assemble! DCL says that this action-packed stage show will feature stunts and special effects as Deadpool makes his Disney Cruise Line debut to lend his signature irreverence and comedy to the spectacle.
The battle of Marvel Super Heroes and Villains at sea will showcase the powers of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Black Panther, the Scarlet Witch, Ms Marvel, Loki, Red Skull, Taskmaster and more.
At the Family Table: Showcasing Regional Cuisines
The statement adds that Disney Imagination Garden will feature two quick-service eateries that passengers will be able to enjoy as part of their cruise fare.
Inspired by the animated worlds of The Jungle Book and Moana by Walt Disney Animation Studios, these restaurants will continue Disney Imagination Garden’s immersive storytelling by inviting families to dine in two distinctly themed environments.
Magic at Sea: Sailing on the Disney Adventure
The statement adds that beginning in 2025, Disney Adventure will sail out of Singapore, offering families throughout the region three and four-night voyages with only days at sea.
The ship will be both a journey and a destination, with endless opportunities for families to have an unforgettable vacation without ever leaving the ship.
The cruise line says that the well-appointed staterooms are complete with special Disney touches and family-friendly conveniences.
Families can choose from a range of room types, including those boasting beautiful ocean vistas or scenic views of the ship’s spectacular promenades, as well as accommodations with dedicated concierge.
Providing ultimate luxury, concierge bookings will include access to exclusive areas and amenities such as a private indoor lounge, an expansive sundeck with shaded pool and whirlpools, high-end shopping venues, and first-class spa and fitness facilities.
On the Horizon: A New Adventure Awaits
Disney Adventure will sail from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre for at least five years beginning in 2025 as part of a collaboration between Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board.
