News Disney cruises coming to Japan under OLC

[BasiltheBatLord]

Huge news just announced that OLC is getting into the cruise industry with Disney cruises permanently based in Japan.

The model is similar to TDR where OLC will own and operate a cruise line under license from TWDC.

The first ship is planned to be 340 meters long with 1,250 cabins accommodating approximately 4,000 guests (very similar to the Dream, Wish and Fantasy). Planning to start operation FY 2028.

Here's the full English press release

The gross tonnage implies Triton class (Wish, Treasure, Destiny) and not Dream class (Dream, Fantasy).

Curious to see whether they revive Triton years after its primary construction ends.

Also worth noting its to sail out of Tokyo.

Really curious to see which dining/bar options they choose from the first three sister ships…or perhaps they will pick a different theme entirely.

Literally just read that thanks

Hopefully better designed than the Wish!

 

[SweetDuffy101]

Curious to see how will this evolve since OLC will be running a cruise line.

 

[HauntedPirate]

I'll be curious to see how this ship is designed. Hopefully it's not a clone of the Wish.

 

[tanc]

Sounds great, I just wonder where they will sail, will OLC have their own Castaway Cay? Wonder what themes will be represented on the ship.

 

[SplashJacket]

Interesting that this will sail out of here before the Adventure sails out of Hong Kong...

 

[tanc]

Route: Mainly short distance departing from and arriving at ports around Tokyo metropolitan area

Possibly going to Kanagawa/Yokohama?

 

[Henry Mystic]

Really unexpected and cool news!
