Overview
- Oriental Land announced the ship’s name, Disney Imagination, on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, and revealed that Ariel and Sebastian will decorate the ship’s signature stern with Tokyo listed as the homeport.
- The vessel is a Meyer Werft‑built Wish‑class sister ship of roughly 140,000 gross tons with about 1,250 staterooms and capacity for around 4,000 guests, and work on the lower hull began in October 2026.
- Oriental Land expects delivery around autumn 2028 and scheduled service to begin in spring 2029, with reservations planned to open roughly six months before the first sailings.
- Oriental Land Cruise will operate the ship under the Japanese flag to meet domestic rules, offering mainly 2‑ to 3‑night itineraries from Tokyo with early price guidance of about ¥100,000 to ¥300,000 per person for standard rooms.
- The project completes the announced Wish‑class lineup, represents a key new revenue pillar for OLC, and raises near‑term questions about final itineraries, booking channels, loyalty access, and possible future ships.
