Disney Cruise Line Renames Global Dream to Disney Adventure: Travel Weekly

Disney announced at its Destination D23 event on September 9 that Disney Cruise Line will be renaming its unfinished ship, Global Dream, which it acquired in November of last year, Disney Adventures.

In March, Disney announced that it would be deploying a new ship to Singapore starting in 2025, and that the Disney Adventures ship would be that ship.

Disney acquired the 208,000-ton ship from liquidators after its former owner, Genting Hong Kong, went bankrupt and ceased operations. The ship was set to sail for Genting Dream Cruises, an Asian cruise line with a capacity of 6,000 passengers. Disney is tight-lipped about what it is doing to transform Global Dream into a Disney Adventure.

Construction continues at the MV Verften shipyard in Wismar, Germany. Genting Hong Kong owned both the shipyard and the vessel. The new owner, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, bought the shipyard last year.
