Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Adventure, the line’s ship to be based in Southeast Asia, was christened by the actor Robert Downey, Jr. in Singapore.

“I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the team at Walt Disney Imagineering, and I can tell you Adventure is the perfect name for what they’ve created,” Downey said, just prior to christening the ship.

The vessel, which is Disney’s largest ever, will set sail on its maiden voyage on March 10, followed by an inaugural season of three- and four-night sailings.

“As our first ship to homeport in Asia, the Disney Adventure represents a new chapter for Disney Cruise Line and will introduce Disney to audiences who may be experiencing our magic for the very first time,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences and incoming chief executive officer of the Walt Disney Company.

Disney Adventure serves as the eighth ship in the Disney fleet, and will be joined by five more ships by 2031.

It features seven themed areas, the first rollercoaster at sea in the cruise industry, multiple specialty restaurants, diverse bars and lounges for adult guests, nightly fireworks at sea, and more.

“The Walt Disney Company has always been built on the power of storytelling and innovation – and Disney Cruise Line brings those values to life in extraordinary ways,” D’Amaro said.
