Disney Cruise To Set Sail in Tokyo in 2029

Disney has announced plans to offer cruise vacations in Japan, with a new ship set to sail in 2029.

The Tokyo-based vessel will be the ninth in Disney’s fleet, joining other ships that currently sail to destinations like the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Europe.

The ship will accommodate up to 4,000 passengers and will offer a range of onboard experiences such as Broadway-caliber entertainment, fireworks at sea, and recreation facilities. Although specific itineraries have not yet been announced.


“Disney Cruise Line has ambitious plans to bring family vacations and Disney storytelling to more guests around the world than ever before,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman, of Disney Experiences. “We are thrilled to continue the success of this expansion as we collaborate with Oriental Land Co. to introduce another distinctly Disney vacation experience to families and fans in Japan.”

The new venture is part of a partnership with Japan’s Oriental Land Company, which operates the Tokyo Disney Resort. The cruise industry has seen a strong rebound following the global shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
