Why the New Disney Adventure Ship May Be Doomed to Bigger CROWDS Than We're Used To

Are you ready to set sail on an ADVENTURE?

Well, you can do so on the NEWEST ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Adventure. Disney has finally started revealing more details about the new ship, which will have its home port based in Singapore (how’s THAT for exciting?). Yep, you’ll be able to take 3- and 4-night cruises out of Singapore, which is a first for Disney Cruise Line. Now, the ship is still under construction, but we’ve already got some concerns about it, and we’ll just say this: the size here is important.

So here’s the deal. The Disney Adventure is HUGE. It will have a capacity to have 6,700 passengers aboard PLUS around 2,500 crew members. For reference, the Disney Treasure has a capacity of 4,000 passengers with a little over 1,500 crew members, about the same as the Disney Wish. The Disney Magic only has a capacity of 2,700 passengers, with about 1,000 crew members.

In other words, the Disney Adventure is going to be massive…which also could mean it’s going to be CROWDED. That means cruises onboard could feel a lot more crowded than what you might be used to on other Disney ships, especially if you typically cruise on smaller ships like the Disney Magic. Of course, you SHOULD have more room to spread out on the Disney Adventure, but that capacity could still feel a bit overwhelming.

Of course, that also means there will probably be a LOT more to do on the Disney Adventure. Disney has only revealed a few key details about the new ship, but we do know it will have the Disney Imagination Garden, an “enchanted valley” inspired by Disney’s stories over the past 100 years. The area will feature The Jungle Book, Moana, and more. It will also have an area for open-air stage performances.

The Disney Discovery Reef will be a themed area for dining and shopping based around the worlds of The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, Finding Nemo, and Luca (y’all, we are here for the Luca love!).

There’s a poolside retreat called Wayfindber Bay that will feature some great views. This area is inspired by the Pacific Islands, as seen in Moana. Town Square is a “fantastical forest” where you’ll find shopping, dining, and entertainment venues with inspiration from Tangled, Cinderella, Frozen, and more. Marvel Landing will include attractions “and an all-new experience.” Children can enjoy Toy Story Place, an interactive water play area. Sounds incredible so far, right?

We also love that Captain Mickey will be on the bow of the ship to lead you into its new adventure.
