Disney Cruise Line continues to grow. A new ship, the Disney Adventure, just launched this year (and we were there for its maiden voyage!). Disney has also announced the Disney Believe, which will set sail in 2027. In addition, three NEW ships are being built to set sail between 2029 and 2031.

However, the most exciting news we’ve heard recently from Disney Cruise Line is about a brand new ship that will set sail from Japan, a first for Disney Cruise Line. Disney revealed new details about this ship, and we’re going to fill you in on all the good stuff!

The new cruise ship will be called the Disney Imagination and will set sail on its maiden voyage in spring 2029. Disney has partnered with Oriental Land Company to create the new ship with sailings in Japan. The ship is a sister ship to the Disney Wish and “will feature many guest-favorite venues and experiences from that ship [the Wish] with select modifications specially designed with Japanese guests in mind.”

The new ship will weigh around 140,000 gross tons and will be powered by liquefied natural gas. It will also have a total of 1,250 staterooms and will hold around 4,000 guests. The ship will be built at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, which is where many of Disney Cruise Line’s ships have been built.

We’re so excited to get to know Disney Cruise Line’s new ship, as well as excited about sailings in Japan. We’ll keep an eye out for more details about the new ship and keep you updated, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
