Year-Round Disney Cruise Vacations Coming to Japan

Disney cruise lovers rejoice! Not only are there three new ships and exciting destinations coming your way, but there’s even more magic on the horizon! Disney just announced a brand new partnership with Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) to bring year-round Disney cruises to Japan!

Under a recently signed agreement, OLC will build and operate a Disney-branded cruise business in Japan, expected to begin by early 2029. This is the latest evolution in our over 40-year relationship with OLC, which owns and operates the magical Tokyo Disney Resort.

A new Disney cruise ship, to be registered and based in Japan year-round, will be constructed at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, with imaginative designs created by Walt Disney Imagineering. A sister ship to the popular Disney Wish, it will feature many guest-favorite venues and experiences from that ship with select modifications specially designed with Japanese guests in mind. It is expected to be approximately 140,000 gross tons and powered by liquefied natural gas, with about 1,250 staterooms.

The addition of a locally based Disney cruise ship will offer fun and relaxation for Japanese Disney fans during magical voyages filled with the incredible entertainment, world-class dining and exceptional guest service that set Disney cruises apart. We are so excited to see this new Disney vacation experience come to life!

More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.
