DCL shared a new agreement with Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) that will bring year-round Disney cruise vacations to Japan! OLC currently operates Tokyo Disney, and this new agreement opens up a whole new chapter in the companies’ 40-year relationship.

New Agreement

Today’s announcement had some new details about the partnership. First, a new Disney cruise ship, to be registered and based in Japan, will be constructed at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The new ship will feature imaginative designs created by Walt Disney Imagineering.

A sister ship to the popular Disney Wish, the new cruise ship will feature many guest-favorite venues and experiences with select modifications for Japanese guests.

The new ship is expected to be approximately 140,000 gross tons, powered by liquefied natural gas, and have about 1,250 staterooms.

Guests can expect the same amazing dining, entertainment, and guest service experienced on other DCL ships.

We also know that new itineraries will be shared! More details about the maiden voyage, destinations, and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.
