Disney Asia cruise debut delayed
Disney Cruise Line’s Asia debut has been pushed back to 2026.
Due to shipyard issues, Disney adventure’s planned December 2025 launch from Singapore has been delayed until to March 10, 2026.
It will mean all cruises are cancelled from December 15 through March 12, 2026.
“As we work on the final touches to bring the Disney Adventure to our guests, we’ve encountered unexpected delays in the shipbuilding process,” said Joe Schott, president of Disney Signature Experiences.
“We’ve made the decision to adjust our timeline. We’re working directly with guests to offer flexible rebooking options.”
Guests booked the original December maiden voyage will automatically rebooked onto the new maiden sailing in March, and will get a 50% refund.
If this is not acceptable, they can get a full refund with 50% discount for a future cruise.
Customers booked on other sailings will be refunded.
