Duffy and Friends will be making their Disney Cruise Line debut with a new show, meet-and-greets, a shop, and activities. The character of Duffy, Mickey's stuffed teddy bear, originated at Disney World before Imagineers added a story for him at Tokyo DisneySea. Today, Duffy and his group of friends are very popular characters, especially at the overseas parks in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, as well as Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa.

Now, there will be new Duffy and Friends experiences coming to the Disney Adventure including a new show at the Disney Imagination Garden stage called “Duffy and The Friend Ship” with original songs on an imaginary voyage guided by the seagull Tippy Blue. See the concept art above! There will also be character meet-and-greets, a Duffy and Friends Shop with items featuring the characters, and a ship-wide activity called Duffy and Friends Discovery Quest where you'll help find missing items and earn a commemorative gift.

Another show coming to the Disney Imagination Garden stage is the new “Captain Jack Sparrow & The Siren Queen,” which features Jack Sparrow and his pirates “as they battle with an ink-squirting giant squid and hunt for a rare, dazzling treasure.” You can see the concept art for this below!

More new experiences coming to the Disney Adventure include the new Marvel Style Studio, which celebrates favorite Marvel characters with hair, makeup, and clothing. During select times throughout the cruise, the space will be an adults-only lounge with bookable beverage tastings. This joins the other Marvel offerings on the ship including the three new attractions Ironcycle Test Run, Pym Quantum Racers, and Groot Galaxy Spin.
