Disney Cruise Line has revealed that its newest ship, the Disney Adventure, will set sail around Singapore starting next winter. The incredible ship is Disney’s largest yet, with a guest capacity of about 6,000 — and an additional 2,300 spots for crew. The ship offers everything from an exciting entertainment lineup featuring an iconic battle with Marvel characters, an entire show retelling the story of Moana, the longest roller coaster at sea, and, of course, incredible dining options. In fact, the Adventure has more than 20 different restaurants and bars for guests to enjoy while sailing on the three- and four-night itineraries around the Southeast Asian island nation.
“As part of our unprecedented expansion for Disney Cruise Line, we are committed to delivering exceptional experiences that bring our special brand of cruising and the best of Disney storytelling to new guests on new shores,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. “When the Disney Adventure sets sail in December 2025, guests throughout Southeast Asia will have the opportunity to experience the magic of their favorite Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories in their very own backyard.”
With all of the great eating and drinking opportunities onboard the Disney Adventure we’re already looking into flights to Singapore next year. With food offerings scattered around the gargantuan maritime vessel, it’s going to be hard to try it all in one sailing, but determined foodies like us are up for the challenge.

The Disney Adventure, which will feature more than 20 restaurants and bars, will make its maiden voyage in December 2025.Disney Cruise Line’s signature rotational dining on the Disney Adventure
Disney Cruise Line is known for its signature rotational dining, which takes the place of massive main dining rooms on other cruise lines. With rotational dining, guests move between three different themed dining rooms on a set schedule throughout a cruise, and your assigned dining room staff moves with you. Not only does this allow guests to experience each dining room, but it also allows the waitstaff to get to know the families they are serving.
The Disney Adventure divides its dining rooms into three different categories: entertainment restaurants, animation restaurants, and traditional table-service dinners. Because the ship is so large, each dining room category has two restaurants associated with it, though both offer similar experiences.
Entertainment restaurants
The two entertainment restaurants onboard are Navigators Club and Hollywood Spotlight Club. Both will offer appearances and interactions with beloved Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck — all sporting their best dress. The Navigators Club will be themed to a captain’s table dinner, while the Hollywood Spotlight Club will showcase the golden age of Hollywood.
Animated restaurants
One of Disney fleet’s most popular restaurants is Animator’s Palate, which will make its way to the Disney Adventure. The restaurant will showcase movies like The Little Mermaid, Encanto, and Toy Story. The second animated restaurant is Animator’s Table, which features artwork from Aladdin, Frozen, and Finding Nemo. Around the restaurants, guests will see sketches of Disney characters and scenes that transform from black-and-white to full color. Guests will also be able to draw their own characters, who will come to life in an animated finale throughout the dining rooms.
Traditional table service restaurants
There are two more traditional table service restaurants at the Adventure. The first is Enchanted Summer Restaurant, a dining hall-style venue, where one room is inspired by the palace horse, Maximus from Tangled, and one is inspired by the lovable snowman Olaf from Frozen. The second is Pixar Market Restaurant, where it’s a celebration of all things Pixar. Both restaurants will feature a buffet-style breakfast and lunch, then switch to table-service meals at dinner.
Quick-service options to please every palate
There’s a wide variety of quick-service restaurants on the Disney Adventure, ranging from classic American cuisine to Indian dishes, and even a cool coffee bar. Bewitching Boba and Brews will feature bubble tea and other cocktails in a lair inspired by the seawitch Ursula from The Little Mermaid. For something more hearty, head to Grandma Tala’s Kitchen, inspired by Moana, for South Pacific and Asian cuisine.
At Stitch’s ‘Ohana Grill, a Lilo and Stitch-themed North Shore beach-style stand offers burgers and sandwiches while Cosmic Kebabs pitas and kebabs are served in a Marvel Studios Ms. Marvel setting. If you’re craving Indian cuisine, head to The Jungle Book-inspired Mowgli’s Eatery. Grab snacks from Pizza Planet or soft-serve ice cream from Wheezy’s Freezies at Toy Story Place.
Wash everything down with a coffee from Palo Cafe, the outdoor patio of Palo Trattoria, which takes inspiration from the Pixar movie Luca. The cafe will have a full menu of coffee and espresso drinks and light bites throughout the day.
Of course, just like every other Disney Cruise Line ship, 24-hour room service is included. We’re hoping that means the iconic Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars are making their way to the Disney Adventure, too — because there’s nothing better than sitting out on your cabin balcony enjoying the sweet treat while gazing at the ocean.
The extra-cost dining is worth the splurge
Adults looking for a spot all to themselves will want to make reservations for Palo Trattoria, a spin on Palo Steakhouse, which is on the currently sailing Disney Cruise Line ships. The restaurant will offer Italian cuisine and an exceptional wine list highlighting the best regional Italian vintages. Palo Trattoria is inspired by a dream scene in Luca featuring constellations and solar systems for an otherworldly experience.
Families looking to have a fun night out can enjoy the Monsters, Inc., themed Mike & Sully’s — Flavors of Asia. The Japanese restaurant will offer four different dining experiences: a Japanese steakhouse, a teppanyaki room, a bar with Omakase-style dining, and an outdoor sushi bar. This is the spot to be for foodies onboard the Disney Adventure.

When it’s time to relax with friends or family, there are plenty of adult-exclusive bars around the ship to enjoy. The first is the pirates-themed Buccaneer Bar, where beer and live sports go hand in hand. Another sports bar on the Disney Adventure is Taverna Portorosso, themed after the fictional Italian village in Luca. The Market Bar is an alfresco cafe adjacent to Pixar Market Restaurant with everything from cocktails and mocktails to specialty coffees. Over at Tiana’s Bayou Lounge, you can get your cocktail served with Tiana’s famous beignets. And at Spellbound, drinks are all themed to the evil queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
If you’re looking for a bar with an ocean view, head to the Infinity Pool and Bar at Marvel Landing, where drinks and snacks are dished up with incredible panoramic ocean views. Alternatively, the Voyager Bar in Wayfinder Bay is a great spot to chill with a frozen drink and enjoy the all-new Moana: Call of the Sea show.
