Overview

  • The Disney Adventure, a 340-meter, 20-deck cruise ship, has been undocked in Wismar after seven years of construction delays.
  • Originally built for Genting Hongkong as 'Global One,' the project was halted in 2022 due to the pandemic and the company’s insolvency.
  • Disney Cruise Line acquired the unfinished hull for approximately €40 million in late 2022 and tasked Meyer Werft with its completion.
  • The ship’s design was reconfigured to accommodate 6,000 passengers, down from the originally planned 9,500, making it the largest cruise ship ever built in Germany.
  • Set to begin operations by the end of 2025, the Disney Adventure will call Singapore its home port through 2030, serving the Southeast Asian market.
