Disney continues to work on expanding the Disney Cruise Line with a brand new ship coming to Asia next year plus the highly anticipated Disney Treasure later this year which will debut the first ever Haunted Mansion bar.
The Tokyo Disney resort is owned and operated by Oriental Land Co. and is often praised for the amount of funding and dedication they put into this theme park. This has especially been evident since the opening of Fantasy Springs which included the new viral Tangled ride. Now this company is partnering once again with Disney!

Disney Cruise Line Partners with Oriental Land Company
Oriental Land Company announced a new partnership today with Disney that will expand Disney Cruise Line to Tokyo. This will be the first time a Disney ship will be owned and operated by a third party.
Disney already has a history with Oriental Land Company as they operate The Tokyo Disney Resort and this is often hailed as one of the best international Disney theme parks. Tokyo Disney Resort is at the top of many Disney adult bucket list trips. Disney has an over 40 year relationship with the Oriental Land Company.
Yumiko Takano, CEO of Oriental Land, emphasized how they'll use their experience from Tokyo Disney Resort in this partnership, “Oriental Land will use their knowhow from the theme park business to continue pushing boundaries and provide family entertainment cruise experiences filled with inspiration and surprise.”
I am consistently impressed by everything Tokyo Disney Resort does so I am sure this new Disney Cruise Line ship will be a masterpiece in its own right.
New Disney Cruise Ship Modeled after the Wish
This new ship coming to Tokyo will be modeled after the Disney Wish and will begin construction in 2025. The Tokyo Disney Cruise Line ship will be a sister ship to the Disney Wish featuring many of the same guest favorite experiences.
The ship will receive modifications designed specifically with Japanese guests in mind. It will be around 140,000 gross tons with about 1,250 staterooms.
When Will Disney Cruise Line Come to Tokyo?
The new Tokyo Disney Cruise Line ship is expected to commence by early 2029.
More details about the initial voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be shared at a later date.
