The Oriental Land Company and Disney announced the name of the much-anticipated Disney Cruise Line ship coming to Japan.
Disney Imagination
The ship will be called the Disney Imagination.
According to Dtimes.jp, the Disney Imagination will embark on short cruises of 2-to-3 nights out of Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, aiming for cruise durations that can easily be part of a Tokyo Disney Resort vacation.
For the stern of the Disney Imagination, character statues of Ariel and Sebastian will be found. This will be the first Disney ship to not have Nassau as the home port written on the stern, instead marking Tokyo.
Construction of the ship’s hull began this month, October 2026.
Disney Cruise Line and OLC announced the ship back in 2024. Like most Disney Cruise Line ships, it will be constructed by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany. It will be the fifth Wish-class ship, joining the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, Disney Destiny, and upcoming Disney Believe. This means it will be the same size and approximate layout as the other ships in the class.
The OLC-operated ship will sail out of Tokyo, Japan beginning in 2029. OLC established Disney Cruise Line Japan and entered an agreement with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha and Yusen Cruises Co., Ltd. to help them operate the ship.
OLC’s recent financial results laid out plans for the ship’s operation. They expect it to take 2- to 4-night cruises out of Tokyo International Cruise Terminal at a price range of ¥100,000 to ¥300,000 per person.
This will be the second Disney Cruise Line ship sailing exclusively out of Asia, following the Disney Adventure.
OLC already teased a potential second ship.
