The new-build venture is the latest evolution in an over 40-year relationship between Disney and OLC, which owns and operates Tokyo Disney Resort.
“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, Disney Experiences.
OLC will operate a new Disney cruise ship to be registered and based in Japan year-round. The vessel will be constructed at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg and will be a sister ship to Disney Wish, modified for a Japanese client base.
